Webinar: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving


University of Minnesota Webinar Rebroadcast: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving with Nan Gesche. A well-stated problem is half solved. One of the biggest challenges of problem solving is being clear about what you are trying to accomplish.

To do this, you have to think critically—slowing down your thinking and challenging your assumptions by asking hard questions.
