This week in both my freshman seminar class and english class, we learned about critically thinking. "Critically thinking involves recognizing, analyzing, and defining problems, drawing logical well-supported conclusions and testing them against relevant criteria and standards. Critical thinking also includes examining issues by identifying and challenging assumptions (including one's own), devolping alternative solutions and stratergies and evaluating practical and ethical implications."
There is a process to critical thinking.
- Obtain information in a way in which you interact with the material, be an active listener and make your own opinion based on the information.
- Know that the only answer is the opinion based on all considerations
- Ask many questions. A lot.
- Make assumptions and look for assumptions.
- Make an conclusion based on all the facts.
Critical thinking is a must for college students to be successfull.
