Mission Impossible

Mission: Critical tour gives details around aspects of critical thinking with examples and participation.  Details around whether a claim is specific or non-specific. (non-specific example would be around half the girls in the house go out drinking on the weekends. ) The site then goes through the four types of patterns for statements.  Then it goes on the explore Induction and deduction with discussion around Syllogism and conditionals.(If Megan was home last night,  she slept in her bed.  Megan was home therefore she did sleep in her bed) For each and every topic in this site there is a series of examples and questions that emphasize what was covered.  This site is a perfect example of learning through practice.  In the end, anyone completing all tutorials and practices will have a stronger knowledge of critical thinking and a stronger ability to apply all aspects that were covered. Once done with there are fun activities that can be done and references for additional reading.  All to emphasize critical thinking.
