Critical Thinking
The Drake Curriculum makes an intentional effort to help students acquire the skills for rational analysis and argumentation. Critical Thinking should be purposeful, rigorous, self-reflective, and based on a careful consideration of evidence. Students learn to:
- Clearly define a question or problem.
- Gather information that is relevant to that problem.
- Rigorously identify assumptions and preconceptions, including their own, that influence analysis of that problem.
