Applying Popperian Didactics

University students often suffer unnecessarily during their studies - mainly due to traditional impositions which have little to do with in-tellectual and professional growth. Encouraging judicious critical thinking may help alleviate this. Training students in rational criti-cal thinking before they begin the prescribed curriculum brings astonishing results, leading to quick, rational and enjoyable studies. Students quickly grasp that knowledge evolves and textbooks may be questioned; they develop independent critical thinking that results in very good final results. The challenge, therefore, is to convince teachers to apply critical rationalism.
