Abstract
In this chapter, the author discusses her teaching experiences and academic biography, offering sage and sound advice on how critical thinking activities tied to assessment can enhance what happens in the psychology classroom. Her call for measuring critical thinking is tempered by the reality of classroom dynamics and not the limits of our teaching hopes; earnest attempts are better than worrying about achieving immediate accuracy. The author counsels that critical thinking holds the promise to move us all, students as well as faculty and administrators, ahead in the goal of making disciplinary knowledge meaningful in the classroom and in our wider lives
