Critical Reasoning: A User's Manual (Southworth and Swoyer)

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Teaching critical reasoning is difficult. So is learning to reason more carefully and accurately. The greatest challenge is teaching (and learning) skills in such a way that students can spontaneously apply them outside the classroom once the course is over (teaching people to apply skills in the classroom can be hard enough, but clearly isn’t a worthwhile goal in itself).
