Throughout this course, you’ve learned about the elements of critical thinking, what characteristics a good critical thinker has, and the many ways you can use effective critical thinking skills in all aspects of your life.

You will take all you have learned and apply it to a real-world scenario for this assignment. Practicing your critical thinking skills in this way allows you to demonstrate what you have learned. Your ability to recognize and overcome the barriers to critical thinking, evaluate arguments, solve complex problems, and make decisions are skills you will use throughout your academic and professional careers. You will use these skills in your personal life too, whether you’re setting life goals or just living your best life.

Review the Critical Thinking Scenario online or read the Critical Thinking Scenario in Microsoft® Word.

Write a 350- to 700-word reflection on the scenario, using the Reflection Template. Read the template carefully before you start typing. It has important information about what to include in each paragraph. Be sure you demonstrate your critical thinking abilities in your responses to the questions and ensure your paper flows well from topic to topic.

Note: The Reflection Template is formatted for you. You do not need to make any changes to the format.
