Nurturing Evaluative Students

Evaluative Course Series Introduction

Misinformation is everywhere. From fake news to competing perspectives, finding truth in this new world has become more complex. Students need to test and interrogate information for themselves or risk being told what to think and do. As we face the future, nurturing evaluative students will help students make the best decisions possible.
