About critical thinking lecture

The critical thinking lecture that was given by Amanda Strong showed us some general ideas about critical thinking.The main point that I got from the lecture is how to analyze the sources of information.Amanda introduced us about ordinary categories of information sources and prepared a lot of questions which are very useful to guide us finding out the importance of konwing that where does the information come from,who makes it,what's the purposes of making this information,what kind of information it is,what kind of ways that author uses to attract audience and is the information credibility ect.From all the works we did in the lecture,I got to konw what critically is and I'm trying to use cratical thinking when I do some reading.It's really useful.I don't konw that it's the first time Amanda give lecture like this or not,but I found that she was a little bit nervous,maybe because of the camera problem.To be very frank,I didn't enjoy the lecture very much,it's too long and a little bit boring.Or it may because that I didn't prepared well for listening this long lecture.( Altough I really enjoy the long lectures about health problems that was given by Owen.)But no matter what, still thanks Amanda Strong gave us a lot of useful information about critical thinking.

hello helen,

Thanks for your comments. I think that you are a good student so don't worry about that.

I think that the content of the lecture was important for a student and any body. Maybe it was borning for you (and a lot of students) because you've already known all the details that she mentioned.

Happy new year again!
