Think Again: 9: Rewriting the Textbook

Here are my notes on Adam Grant’s 9th chapter of Think Again.

• Ask questions that don’t have a single right answer.
• Interrogate information.
• Reject rank and popularity as a proxy for reliability.
• Understand that the sender is usually not the source.
• Erin McCarthy- self directed research, assigns old textbooks to students to correct
• Robert Nozick — Thought experiments — one of them inspired The Matrix.
• Ron Berger — Grapples/problems to work through in phases. Think, pair share. Encouraged critique of work and multiple working drafts.
