Critical Thinking: For this course, analysis and critical thought is expected. However, I do realize that in some of the undergraduate courses that you may have taken prior, this was not an expectation. So what does this really mean?

Analysis or critical thought is taking the concept, applying it to an organization or idea, looking at the implications (so what does this really mean and what are the comparative and contrasting views in the literature), and then drawing conclusions based on the research. It is not summarizing the research or just citing it. It is not just rendering an opinion either. This is where some get confused.

To sum this up, what you are really doing is asking "why" and "what" do the concepts mean as you are applying your experiences or what you read. Just remember that you have to probe deeper and look for the connections throughout your analysis. What you will find is that you are not just answering the question but learning how to challenge yourself to look at the world differently. Truly dig for the "so what.”
