Find three credible sources that discuss critical thinking. One source should be from the assigned and/or optional readings, (Topic 1 study materials), and the other two should be found through your own research from within the library. Read the three sources and consider how they define critical thinking.
In 300-500 words, define critical thinking and expand on what skills are needed to work through the critical thinking process and/or how critical thinking is enhanced. Keep the following guidelines in mind:
The sources you found in your research may influence your definition, but your own ideas should be evident. In other words, your process should be: a) Read some definitions and descriptions of critical thinking; b) Comprehend or digest the information; and c) create a synthesized definition of critical thinking.
Paraphrasing is preferred. Include an in-text citation whenever paraphrasing or using a direct quote. Keep direct quotes between 0-3 per essay.
A reference page that documents the three sources you found (and any other resources you used) is required. Remember, all sources must be cited both in-text and on your reference page.
(Note: Do not simply reword the definitions you read. Consider how you will explain what critical thinking is.)

Pictures of Neglect Activity
For this assignment, you will review a series of pictures and consider whether each represents neglect. There are not necessarily “right” or “wrong” answers; your grade will be based on whether you offer sound explanations for your decisions. Follow the instructions below to complete the assignment. Refer to the course schedule for the due date.
Review the Pictures of Neglect slide presentation. The arrow keys or the player controls in the lower left corner of the screen will allow you to navigate forward and backward through the presentation.
Based on these slides, create a document including the following information for each image:
Image number (not the slide number).
Your opinion: “Yes, this represents neglect” or “No, this does not represent neglect.”
Two or three sentences explaining your choice. You should refer to relevant details in the photos, but you may also offer theories or possible explanations for what is shown.
Save your document as Neglect-yourname.

Watch both of these Ted Talks about Listening.  Discuss your thoughts and observations by
posting here.  Listening might be the
shortest chapter in the book, but I’d argue the most important. 
William Ury Ted Talk-

Julian Treasure-

This week, you will complete your argumentative paper. Following the
directions in assigned textbook reading on how write an argumentative
essay on the issue you chose in Week 1. Be sure your essay contains the
following:
An opening paragraph that states a clear thesis
that is focused, plausible, and arguable and that gives direction and
purpose to the paper
A fair-minded, balanced, and objective
development of the pros and cons of the issue in a well-organized
sequence of ideas, free of mechanical errors
Credible, reliable, and authoritative evidence in support of the points made
A
strong conclusion that summarizes your views, reminds the audience of
the issue and its importance, and shows in brief that you have
successfully defended your thesis
NoteAs you do
your research, it is permissible to change your sources. Also, because
of the recency and relevance of these issues, no sources older than 5
years should be used other than as historical information. Critical
thinkers do the research first and then side with the preponderance of
evidence. You might want to follow that principle.
