What is Believe it or Not?
"Is it reasonable to believe..." kickstarts the question for the Critical Thinking & Communication essay.
Your faculty librarian can help you navigate to academic, evidence-based articles on your given essay topic. This will assist in finding ideas to build your argument diagram and base your essay arguments on reliable and relevant research.
Book a 45-minute appointment with your faculty librarian - on campus or online.
Book a workshop in Week 11 - Wednesday 27th March!
