(No discussion this week.)
Overview, goals, activities. In this final week we return to the issue of critical thinking. The goal of this activity is to apply critical thinking to your critical thinking. That is, to rethink and perhaps rewrite what is in your blog. Your have three tasks this week:
- Update your posts. Read through and update your postings using the critical perspectives you have developed during the past 10 weeks. I am not looking for anything major here, just modifications that make sense to you given what you now know. If you are happy with you have, then leave it.
- Update your definition of critical thinking. Pay special attention to your first posting, in which you define critical thinking. Does it still work for you? If not, modify it.
- Create a mission statement. Write a 2-3 page reflection/mission statement about the role of critical thinking in research, particularly applied to your profession. What will you look for? How will you look?
