Abstract

to think critically means that we are able to think in a logical fashion — in straight lines, as it were. One of the hardest skills that all undergraduates have to acquire is being able to think logically and then formulate these logical thoughts into sentences to produce an academic essay. Sentences and paragraphs in an essay have to follow on from each other in a logical sequence. This is part of critical thinking. So titles like Practical Logic or Reasoning reflect this aspect of critical thinking.
