Teaching and Learning Guides
The ThinkForward Teaching & Learning Guides include a sample of assignments and activities developed by faculty and graduate students who received Faculty Approaches to Critical Thinking (FACT) and Critical Thinking Redesign (CTR) grants. The goal of the guide is to serve as a starting point for faculty who might wish to help students develop their critical thinking skills after the conclusion of the QEP. They are collected by discipline.
