Critical Thinking

Hi! Some quick notes about today's lesson, Critical Thinking...

CT: thinking intelligently about things, ability to look at ideas objectively...

THINGS TO DO:

* analyze ideas

* explore both positive and negative aspects of an idea or theory

* have an open mind

* make judgments by considering all sides of an issue

* be prepared to change your mind and rethink concepts if necessary

* look at evidence with an open mind

* look for weaknesses in your own reasoning

* assess the expertise of a writer or speaker

* look for more than one expert who supports an idea

* ask questions to evaluate ideas

    P.S: It's never too late to give up our prejudices.

"Are you a critical thinker? Do you think independently and logically?"
