Teaching Critical Thinking

I'm 100% sure that all of my students will be exercising judgment on complex and important issues within weeks of graduating. This fact serves as a constant motivation for me to ensure that my pedagogical style aligns with the adult learning literature. It's not so much that I teach them what the availability heuristic is or insufficient anchor adjustment or false dichotomy. It's spending a lot of time trying to get them to understand why oftentimes we have these barriers to being good critical thinkers.
