University dinosaur courses provide an influential venue for
developing aptitude beyond knowledge of terrestrial Mesozoic
reptiles. Passion for dinosaurs, when properly directed, can
trigger interest in science and be used to develop critical
thinking skills. Examination of dinosaur paleontology can develop
competence in information analysis, perception of flawed arguments,
recognition of persuasion techniques, and application of
disciplined thought processes. Three methods for developing
critical thought are outlined in this Element. The first uses
dinosaur paleontology to illustrate logical fallacies and flawed
arguments. The second is a method for evaluating primary dinosaur
literature by students of any major. The final example entails
critique of dinosaur documentaries based on the appearance of
dinosaurs and the disconnect between scientific fact and
storytelling techniques. Students are owed more than dinosaur
facts; lecturers should foster a set of skills that equips students
with the tools necessary to be perceptive citizens and science
advocates.
