Critical Reasoning- Week 6 (JC)

THIS PAPER MUST BE 100% ORIGINAL AND I WILL DEMAND MY MONEY BACK IF IT IS PLAGARIZED.

This is due by noon EST this Saturday 9/9. 

APA formatting please.

This course thus far has placed the emphasis on actively developing your thinking. Everything in the course has been educationally designed in order to guide you to become better at critical thinking. You will therefore not be asked to memorize information. Instead, you will be required to actively participate in class so that you can improve your thinking.  Think about learning to think as you would of learning any new skill. A new skill requires that you first learn the fundamentals of that skill, then practice the fundamentals every day. The same is true about learning how to critically think and reason.   You must practice the essential standards of thinking fundamentals every day. Therefore, this class has been designed with the primary purpose of helping you develop your thinking and reasoning skills. Why is this important? Because the quality of every decision you make will be directly determined by the quality of your reasoning abilities. In fact the quality of your life in general, will be determined by how well you think in general.  Instructions  Read how to write a self-assessment paper: http://academic.shu.edu/english/1201/portfolio-assessment/sample_student_self-assessment2.htm.  Write a paper that is a self-assessment of your progress as a strategic critical thinker. •Has this course been effective in teaching you how to think critically?

Give a short reason why each would be pertinent to your Portfolio Project. This is not expected to be a final list. The goal here is to motivate you to begin examining research that might help you in your final Portfolio Project. Add a reference section for your research sources. These references should include scholarly articles, 1-2 books, and 2-4 academic credible websites. Make sure you use APA. •Remember, next week (Week 7), you will practice your critical thinking skills by offering feedback on other students’ work.

This paper must be 4-5 pages long.
