Enlightened by the 3MT (Three-Minute Thesis) competition first launched in the University of Queensland, the author intends to explore the feasibility of introducing 3MT into China’s classroom and study how this practice can help students improve their research paper or thesis writing. In addition, the author analyzed the correlation between students’ 3MT performance and their critical thinking ability with the assessment tool CCTDI (California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory) in order to find possible ways to cultivate students’ critical thinking ability.
