If you have already signed up for the CARM
School of Theology and/or School of Apologetics, then you already know how to use the
School of Critical Thinking. They are all laid out identically.
Remember to pray
first and asked the Lord to help you learn to think more clearly so that
you might bring glory to him. If you can, get a notebook and write
down your own notes, your own comments about what you learn, as well as
print out the lessons for that notebook for later review.
CARM strongly
suggest that you start at the top and work your way down the list. The
lessons build upon each other so if you skip around, you may not get the
full benefit of the lessons.
Also, please feel free to print out each lesson with or
without the questions that you may or may not answer -- and feel free to
copy them and give them to people you know if it can help them.
Page Layout
You will notice
a set of numbers at
the top left of every page. It is the lesson that you are on and
it corresponds exactly to the navigation bar to the left. The introduction section is
prefixed with the number zero. Each page in that section is designated
by its own number. This page, for example, is 00.02. The next lesson is
00.03. When you go to the section dealing with the Necessary Tools you will notice
that the first lesson lesson in the Necessary Tools section has a lesson number of
01.01. This numbering system has two purposes. First, all you need to do
is remember the lesson number you last finished so you can easily return to where you left off. Second, should we add material into the lesson plan, we can insert it
numerically and you will be able to print off the lessons and insert
them in your notebook accordingly. When we add or modify this
online school, we will document it on the update
page so you can see what is new.
Each page is designed to fit any browser and print on
any printer. This is why it is "wide." This way it is
scalable to your specific browser and printer needs.
Finally, at the bottom of every lesson page is a
navigation bar (Previous Lesson | Questions | Answers | Next Lesson) that will help you through the school sequentially.
You should become familiar with it quickly and easily.
Once you become familiar with this online school and
start reading and studying, you should find yourself learning more and
more. Remember to pray, to take notes, to print the material up
and put it in a notebook, to add what else you discover, and to use what
you learn. The more you do this, the better you will know your
faith and the better able you will be to apply the truths of
Christianity in every area of your life.
We hope that you have a productive time here at the
online school of apologetics
May the Lord receive the glory.
