Critical Thinking: Argumentative Reading and Writing (CID ENGL105)

This textbook is designed for an 8-week course. Created for Coalinga College’s English Argumentative Writing & Critical Thinking, it distills various OER resources into a framework base for faculty to expand on, whether focusing on argumentative writing or integrating critical thinking philosophies and research methodologies beyond a basic English class. Each section provides definitions and examples for faculty to add individual supplemental materials and ends with additional text options.
