  1. Critical Thinking CT is a self-directed process by which we take deliberate steps to think at the highest level of quality. CT is skillful, responsible thinking that is conducive to good judgment because it is sensitive to context, relies on criteria, and is self-correcting.

  6. INTELLECTUAL STANDARDS

  7. The Result: A well cultivated critical thinker: • Raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; • Gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively • Comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; • Thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and • Communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems

  10. What is grammar? • State it: Grammar is a set of agreed upon rules for language and punctuation with the goal of clear communication. • Elaborate: In other words, grammar is a way of using words and punctuation so that as many readers as possible can agree upon the meaning. • Example: For example, we use grammar not just in English papers but in all oral and written communication. When that grammar is correct, we have a better chance of accurate communication. • Illustration: Grammar is like the rules of the road. When we all use the same rules, we have fewer accidents (breakdowns in communication) and we all get where we’re going safely (clear communication).
