At the end of a given chapter my students are to answer a critical thinking question. These questions are usually composed of 3 or more parts each related to the initial topic. The students are required to give clear and concise answers to each part, explaining how they arrived at their conclusions or opinions. Simple statements without explanation results in a lower grade for the exercise. This teaches the students to assimilate,review,and analyze the information rather than just collecting and reciting it.
