How Critical Thinking Increase the Chance of Academic Success

 

"Critical thinking is a broad concept that consists of several skills. It allows you to move beyond memorizing facts to higher-level, or “deep,” thinking. It demands a high level of concentration because it requires logic, clarity, and independent thinking." (Megan Stone, 2014) It helps me develop my study habits and more logically understand the course objectives. Being a critical thinker allows you to evolve your academic skills and solve complex problems. As a student, I have to think relatively to figure out how to have outstanding grades and the outcome of my hard work. Open-mindedness will let me grow and find more opportunities as I strive through this quarter.

There are skills that I should consider when being a critical thinker. "The skills of asking questions, analyzing, and evaluating." (Megan Stone, 2014) These are the ways to advance your progress and recognize your problem-solving and ability to learn. We must also prepare ourselves for failure and disappointments that may come our way. It will become a lesson and allow your self-confidence to grow.
