In Week 1, you discussed several soft skills that employers seek in new hires. One of these skills was critical thinking. This week, you will be enhancing your understanding of yourself by becoming a critic of your thinking. You will engage in a journal activity to guide your exploration and processing of your current approach to thinking.

To prepare for this journal, critically read the articles, Becoming a Critic of Your Thinking (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Critical Thinking in Everyday Life: 9 Strategies (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
