Critical thinking skills are an essential component of being a university student, and like most skills are developed through practice.

The University of Canberra's Academic Skills Centre has a very good guide about Critical Thinking [9].

I also recommend this book as a starting place:

Critical Thinking Skills: Developing Effective Analysis and Argument [10]
By Stella Cottrell
Published by Palgrave MacMillan 

Or browse more books on this topic [11].
