Key ways of thinking
Demonstrate that you do not automatically accept the research and work of others without evaluating its usefulness and credibility
Clearly state whether you think that the conclusions of others are acceptable or why they might have flaws or aspects that should be looked at again. You should mention why you hold the opinions you do.
Give your own opinions of the topic you are discussing.To do this you cannot just repeat words or opinions of others.
Show that you recognise the limitations of your own arguments and conclusions. In doing this you could also write about further research that is needed to add weight to a particular argument
