Do you teach Crit­i­cal Think­ing with­out a text­book? Or do you teach Crit­i­cal Think­ing and cur­rently use a text­book but would like to switch to Open Ed­u­ca­tional Re­sources? Ei­ther way, this site is for you. This web­site was cre­ated as an OER (Open Ed­u­ca­tional Re­source) for the Bor­ough of Man­hat­tan Com­mu­nity Col­lege’s CRT 100: Crit­i­cal Think­ing course. Al­though CRT 100 in­struc­tors are free to se­lect any top­ics and in­struc­tional ma­te­ri­als, they should pri­or­i­tize teach­ing the skills listed in the stu­dent learn­ing out­comes. Ac­cord­ingly, the con­tent of this course hub has been di­vided into sug­gested “top­ics.” Each topic has a ded­i­cated page with mul­ti­ple posts, which in­clude as­sign­ments, ac­tiv­i­ties, Pow­er­Points, and other rel­e­vant ma­te­ri­als. The “es­says” sec­tion in­cludes essay as­sign­ments and rel­e­vant re­sources. The “re­sources” sec­tion pro­vides ex­ter­nal links to other ma­te­ri­als. For con­tri­bu­tions to the site, go to “con­tribute.” Thank you to all Aca­d­e­mic Lit­er­acy and Lin­guis­tics fac­ulty who’ve al­ready con­tributed ma­te­ri­als to this site. This site is part of a broader ef­fort to en­cour­age open­ness and col­lab­o­ra­tion among in­struc­tors. This site is ad­min­is­tered by Prof. Ewa Barnes, Lec­turer at the Bor­ough of Man­hat­tan Com­mu­nity Col­lege’s Aca­d­e­mic Lit­er­acy and Lin­guis­tics De­part­ment.

Do you teach Critical Thinking without a textbook? Or do you teach Critical Thinking and currently use a textbook but would like to switch to Open Educational Resources? Either way, this site is for you. This website was created as an OER (Open Educational Resource) for the Borough of Manhattan Community College’s CRT 100: Critical Thinking course. Although CRT 100 instructors are free to select any topics and instructional materials, they should prioritize teaching the skills listed in the student learning outcomes. Accordingly, the content of this course hub has been divided into suggested “topics.” Each topic has a dedicated page with multiple posts, which include assignments, activities, PowerPoints, and other relevant materials. The “essays” section includes essay assignments and relevant resources. The “resources” section provides external links to other materials. For contributions to the site, go to “contribute.” Thank you to all Academic Literacy and Linguistics faculty who’ve already contributed materials to this site. This site is part of a broader effort to encourage openness and collaboration among instructors. This site is administered by Prof. Ewa Barnes, Lecturer at the Borough of Manhattan Community College’s Academic Literacy and Linguistics Department. Feel free to contact me with any resources, comments and questions at ebarnes@bmcc.cuny.edu.
