[LM_NET] LM_NET:GEN: critical thinking skills

[Sybil Finemel <sfinemel@CA.RR.COM>]

I would like the views and practices of the group as we now live in the
world with online real chat services.

 How do you help students with their homework or projects? Do you direct
them to the information or do you show them and give them the answers?

I am perturbed with the trend of students using Google for everything and
just copying and pasting! Should we be developing critical thinking skills,
I feel strongly that we should!

How will students cope at college level and in the real world?

 

Thanks for any input!

"Manners are of more importance 

than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, 

corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us

by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air  

we breathe in." 

Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
