Assessing your critical thinking
Now that you know all about Critical Thinking, let’s assess just how much of a critical thinker you are!
Using this Critical Assessment Test, assess your ability to think critically and analytically. Once complete, it will show you in what percentile you fall as it relates to critical thinking. Do you agree with your score? Why or why not?
Next, watch the following video and briefly answer this: can someone be taught to be a critical thinker? Why or why not? Provide a few examples and resources to support your answer!
Final Project – Remember you will build your final paper/project over the course of these 5 weeks and you are being asked to demonstrate your critical thinking skills!
To do that, find the peer-reviewed journal article that you want to explore (to make it interesting/fun, explore a topic that is relevant to your field).
This week, share the title and citation of your chosen article along with answering the following questions:
(1) What is the main issue or problem the author is focusing on in this article?;
(2) What is the main purpose of the article?; and
(3) What information is being used by the author and what is its relationship to the main issue?
