Colleagues,

 
A REVIEW OF THE BOOK CRITICAL THINKING BY JOHN CHAFFEE

 
Attached to this message is a brief review by SAU Director of Writing Michael Hustedde of John Chaffee's book Critical Thinking. In his review Michael notes that "Chaffee views the abilities to think both critically and creatively to be the foundation of learning for his students. I agree with his position. When I speak with my colleagues at SAU about the weaknesses their students’ papers contain, the most common concern, even beyond spelling and usage, is that the papers so often don’t say anything or what they do say is disorganized and poorly presented (lacking both style and a recognition of audience)."
