Interesting Questions Requiring Critical Thinking
Next week, we'll be starting our semester-long group projects. We're going to think of interesting contemporary questions that require good critical thinking skills to answer well, and form groups based on interest in those questions.
So, for next Tuesday, think about what questions you think are most interesting. It can be an ethical question, like "Should we have Capital Punishment?" an historical question, like "How important was French support for the American victory in the war of Independence?" a policy question like "what's the best way to develop our energy policy?" - anything that requires you to synthesize complex ideas, incorporate research, break large questions into smaller question, and evaluate multiple claims.
Type your questions and bring them with you on Tuesday. Think of any many questions as you genuinely think are interesting. Remember, you'll be working on these for the rest of the semester, so try to come up with something that really interests you!
