Abstract

Many first year undergraduate students arrive at university without having been taught how to think critically. This poses a serious problem as without critical thinking skills, students can fall into bad intellectual habits impeding their development. An example of this is the over-reliance on the internet for information. The resulting ‘Google-it’ mentality can then leave sixth-formers insufficiently prepared for Higher Education; impacting their ability to thrive at university.
