This paper introduces students to ways of analysing information people encounter in their everyday lives and in university papers. We begin by explaining what critical thinking is and looking at components of persuasive arguments. Then, we explore various forms of faulty argument and introduce formal logic. Skills developed are then applied to a range of topics, including intercultural communication, how different cultures consider wellbeing, and the Aotearoa (New Zealand) context.
