Critical Thinking: Assessing Arguments

Although sometimes academic arguments can be simple and straightforward, they can often be complex and confusing.

Learning how to identify the several parts that make up an argument and learning how those parts relate to one another to yield some conclusion, however, will put you in a good position to evaluate the quality of a given academic argument.

In this workshop you will learn how to critically assess arguments. By the end of this session you will know how to critically assess whether an academic argument is good or bad, valid or invalid, sound or unsound.

Our workshops run all year round at our Helpdesk in the Silberrad Student Centre, and cover all aspects of academic skills, maths and statistics.  You can also book a 1:1 appointment with an advisor to talk over anything in your studies that you need help with.
