Engage in Critical Thinking from "summary" of How to Be a Great Student by Kimberly Hatch Harrison

Critical thinking is a fundamental skill that all great students possess. It involves looking at information in a thoughtful and analytical way, rather than simply accepting it at face value. When you engage in critical thinking, you are able to evaluate the credibility of sources, identify bias, and recognize logical fallacies. This skill allows you to form your own opinions and make informed decisions based on evidence and reasoning. One way to develop your critical thinking skills is to ask questions. When you encounter new information, take the time to ask yourself questions such as, “How do I know this is true?” or “What evidence supports this claim?” By asking these questions, you can dig deeper into the information and gain a better understanding of the topic at hand. Another important aspect of critical thinking is being open-minded. It’s essential to consider multiple perspectives and viewpoints before forming an opinion. By being open-minded, you can avoid falling into the trap of confirmation bias and ensure that you are approaching the information with a fair and balanced mindset. Additionally, critical thinking requires a healthy dose of skepticism. Don’t be afraid to question the information you come across and challenge assumptions. By being skeptical, you can avoid being misled by misinformation and propaganda, and instead focus on seeking out the truth. Furthermore, critical thinking involves being able to draw connections between different pieces of information and see the bigger picture. This skill allows you to synthesize information from various sources and form a coherent understanding of complex topics.
  1. Critical thinking is a vital skill that can help you succeed in your academic endeavors and beyond. By asking questions, being open-minded, maintaining skepticism, and synthesizing information, you can develop your critical thinking skills and become a more effective and empowered student.
