The Importance of Critical Thinking in the Fake News Era

The Importance of Critical Thinking in the Fake News Era In-Person

This workshop explores the role of critical thinking in academic reading and writing, using "fake news" as a lens to highlight the significance of critical thinking in evaluating information and forming critical analyses. Learn strategies to detect unreliable sources, read beyond the surface, and develop thoughtful, evidence-based arguments in your writing. A collaboration between the Centre for Academic Communication and UVic Libraries, this interactive session will include hands-on activities to help you become a more informed and critical thinker in your academic work.
