Identifying internal and external barriers that may hinder your growth as a critical thinker. Learning how to overcome those barriers. Discovering how to identify credible and non-credible messengers and messages. Gaining an understanding of the problem-solving process that Dr. Ridel reviewed.

This week you will be writing a paper that reflects on your Critical Thinking journey and ties it into the content you have learned over the past five weeks. You have learned so much and now it is time to apply what you have learned about critical thinking. You will discuss how you will apply all that you have learned to your daily life to help you on your educational journey, in the workplace, and in your personal life.
