Remember, critical thinking is an attempt to train the mind in a self-reflective and self-directed manner. Its purpose is to make thinking clear, precise, accurate, relevant, consistent, and fair. It is open-minded, yet skeptical. No claim is rejected out of hand. Note that the term “critical” refers to performing a critique, which evaluates both strengths and weaknesses in a claim, position, or argument. A critical thinker rigorously applies intellectual standards to both sides of an issue, notwithstanding personal preference. Your dilemmas should be strongly correlated with your documented research. I will allow enormous lead-way and freedom in your creative expression and ideas. Think outside the box and your personal and professional comfort zone.
