Reviews
Reviews of the author's previous book Critical Thinking for Students 'When teaching for the OCR AS-level course I found this an ideal book - the right depth for teachers and the right length for students. It is written with such obvious enthusiasm for lucid and practical thinking that it can be recommended to teachers and students in any field.' Roger Sutcliffe, Chairman, Sapere
Author Information
Dr ROY VAN DEN BRINK-BUDGEN has been engaged in developing assessment and teaching materials in Critical Thinking for almost twenty years. He has taught the subject for eleven years. He is well known for his substantial contribution to the development of both the AS and the A2 assessment from their beginnings, having been Chief Examiner in the subject for many years until 2005 inclusive. In great demand throughout the country to work with staff and students in Critical Thinking, Roy has probably taught more INSETs for teachers than anyone else in the country.
