Is Critical Thinking a micky mouse course?

Its pretty much like general studies, turn up to the exam with no preparation and you can still pass. You could never do that with a subject like chemistry or maths though.

i take critical thinking at college, but one of my friends seems to think its a micky mouse course and its really easy. but i dont find it easy all of the time. plus it cant be a micky mouse course if uni's are gonna start using these sort of questions in their application asmissions. what do u think?

no certainty not micky mouse...

a lot of unis actually emphasize candidates to have critical thinking skills... I applied to cambridge for engineering and I still had to do a thinking skills test! Not to mention someone who applied for law or philosphy

I think critical thinking is really useful, when you have to construct or oppose an argument etc... maybe because I study science I don't have many chances to get something like this as someone who do history or social sciences

It's not a micky mouse subject, it's hard!

It seems that everyone who has no idea what the subject actually is says it is 'mickey mouse' and those that do say it is not.

Are you suggesting that you do?

I know what the course is about and what it involves.

I have a rough idea too. Why don't you take it at A-Level if you like the look of it?

Alas, my school does not offer it.

Fair enough. I'm guessing the subject isn't as good as History, Politics, English Lang + Lit and all the other subjects similar to this.

It's an additional subject, not really something you would offer as one of your main ones. I think it is AS only anyway.

Yes it is only avaliable in AS... which suggests something. I personally wouldn't pick it as an additional subjects but if anyone else wants to then that's up to them

what does it only being an AS suggest?
