This on-line learning tool includes a list of learning objectives for each chapter; exercises, quizzes, and review quizzes (auto-graded) for each chapter; a glossary with links to relevant Web sites; tutorials for each chapter; and a critical thinking diagnostic test.
Required reading for more than 250,000 students since the publication of the first edition in 1986, Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking has done more than any other text to help define the structure and content of the critical thinking course, while at the same time serving as a model for the creation of texts that students actually enjoy reading and learning from.

A two-part organization: The first part covers claims, the second covers arguments. Students find the distinction between unsupported and supported claims natural.
Hundreds of examples and anecdotes drawn primarily from politics, sports, high technology, entertainment, and academia.
A focus on writing throughout. Chapter 2 focuses exclusively on guidelines for writing argumentative essays.
A complete glossary of terms, answers to one-third of the 1,500 exercises included in the text, cartoons, and an informal, often tongue-in-cheek writing style.
