An Introduction to Critical Thinking

Short Description:
Arguments in Context is a comprehensive introduction to critical thinking that covers all the basics in student-friendly language. Intended for use in a semester-long course, the text features classroom-tested examples and exercises that have been chosen to emphasize the relevance and applicability of the subject to everyday life. Three themes are developed as the text proceeds from argument identification and analysis, to the standards and techniques of evaluation: (i) the importance of asking the right questions, (ii) the influence of biases, cognitive illusions, and other psychological factors, and (iii) the ways that social situations and structures can enhance and impoverish our thinking. On this last point, the text includes sustained discussion of disagreement, cooperative dialogue, testimony, trust, and social media. Overall, the text aims to equip readers with a set of tools for working through important decisions and disagreements, and to help them become more careful and active thinkers.

Increasing Student Connection and Engagement at the Start of Classes

Short Description:
This resource explores what arrival activities are and suggests ways to use them. It is accompanied by a PowerPoint slide deck that you can modify for your own teaching practice.NewParaThis project is made possible with funding by the Government of Ontario and through eCampusOntario’s support of the Virtual Learning Strategy. To learn more about the Virtual Learning Strategy visit: https://vls.ecampusontario.ca

Long Description:
Arrival activities are short low-stakes activities that students can do right when they join lectures. They are designed to foster community, develop connections, gather feedback, and enhance student engagement during the opening moments of class. For example, they can invite students to engage with the course; act as wellness check-ins; gather feedback from students; acclimatize students to what participation and engagement might look like in a digital learning environment; and provide opportunities for connection and perspective-taking. This resource includes an overview of arrival activities and has an associated PowerPoint slide deck that you can use and modify for your own teaching practice.

Short Description:
The goal of this Renal Pathology Atlas is to provide teaching material to veterinary pathologists and nephropathologists. The atlas demonstrates the breadth of lesions that can occur within a cohort of dogs presenting with the clinical sign of protein loss in the urine. Kidney samples were examined with multiple modalities including: histopathology, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Integration of these comprehensive evaluations with the clinical history can help veterinary pathologists and nephrologists to better understand the etiology and prognosis of renal lesions in proteinuric dogs.
