University students often suffer unnecessarily during their studies - mainly due to traditional impositions which have little to do with in-tellectual and professional growth. Encouraging judicious critical thinking may help alleviate this. Training students in rational criti-cal thinking before they begin the prescribed curriculum brings astonishing results, leading to quick, rational and enjoyable studies. Students quickly grasp that knowledge evolves and textbooks may be questioned; they develop independent critical thinking that results in very good final results. The challenge, therefore, is to convince teachers to apply critical rationalism.

Abstract
University students often suffer unnecessarily during their studies - mainly due to traditional impositions which have little to do with in-tellectual and professional growth. Encouraging judicious critical thinking may help alleviate this. Training students in rational criti-cal thinking before they begin the prescribed curriculum brings astonishing results, leading to quick, rational and enjoyable studies. Students quickly grasp that knowledge evolves and textbooks may be questioned; they develop independent critical thinking that results in very good final results. The challenge, therefore, is to convince teachers to apply critical rationalism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
