College Learning Strategies Spring 2018

What is critical thinking?  What are some characteristics of effective critical thinkers?  Finally- why is this so important in college?  Think about some of the work we have done so far this semester- do you have strong critical thinking skills?

One of the things I hear most commonly from first-year college students is, "I am just not a good test taker".  Do you consider yourself a good test taker?  Why or why not?  Please give me examples.  If you say you are a great test taker...what makes you say so?  As you will find next week- being a good test taker involves more than just good test scores.
