Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is most challenging when it is applied to one's own research, to results that are new, perhaps unexpected. It is crucial to look at one's experimental setups, assumptions and results from different perspectives and to evaluate alternative approaches and interpretations. Students are asked to write their reflections using the concepts they have learned onto the online whiteboard KNOW (Knowledge Network Online Whiteboard) and discuss them with their peers.
