SEMINAR ONE 
The Intellectual Standards of Academic Thinking
(To evaluate the quality of reasoning)

 

‘7’ may have been the ancient and customary number when it came to the seas and the heavens above, years of bad luck upon a broken mirror, and the wonders of the world. ‘8’, though, is the magic number when it is time for thinking in scientific and non-scientific fields – also known as “higher-order thinking”.

In the sessions that follow, we shall examine the eight essential components pertaining to each category - the awarenss of which can assist one in becoming not only a better academic, but also a better individual outside academia!
