Bringing Critical Thinking Into Your Discipline

The metal log is an exercise that literally requires no material other than like a set of directions. The payoff is huge, especially if as they move through, you know, a week or two of this assignment, you start to make them more aware of how they need to be doing the same thing with the material class. And then you can take that and there's you can do a second layer to the metal log, which is not looking generically at their thinking process about trivial things. But you can also then bring that same thinking process into your discipline provided it's one that overlays,. That's why we pushed for an interdisciplinary conception of critical thinking so much.
