Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: This study examined the group critical thinking skills of students in a first-year general education course. A compound rubric was designed to assess critical thinking in group papers on social policies. Results indicate that revision in writing and the use of a rubric are associated with improved group thinking skills.
