Universities provide only a base, this is one of the stages of the school of life, where a young person faces different situations and people, looks for solutions and gets experience that will be useful to him in the future. There is no need to invent any special exercises.
We didn't study at universities. They didn't live in apartments of 15 rooms with bathrooms. (c);)
But I assume that critical thinking develops by presenting diverse material from different points of view and positions without focusing on the most presumptive true one. This is what allows a person to analyze, develop flexibility of mind and thinking. Disputation-an opportunity for the competition of ideas as a method of teaching dates back to the first centuries of the formation of medieval universities.�
Universities do not provide critical thinking, they provide knowledge that can be useful. Critical thinking develops primarily due to the person's own desire to know the truth. Not the one that is convenient or pleasant, but the real truth. In the second turn, the hand is played by scrapping templates. When certain facts about which you had clear ideas suddenly cease to be true, because you find and, most importantly, do not reject another view. Then the worldview changes and you realize that most things are not what they are, and you have to look for answers on each point, because the old common truths do not suit you.
