Answers may vary. The term critical thinking refers to thoughtful consideration of the information, ideas, and arguments we encounter in order to guide belief and action. Making decisions and solving problems involve thinking logically, weighing evidence, and formulating conclusions. Some examples of situations you might experience in college that will require these skills are deciding which sources are most important to include in your research paper; finding a way to negotiate a problem situation with your roommate; determining the kinds of exercise you need to maintain a healthy fitness level and avoid weight gain; and understanding the advantages and disadvantages of accessing information sources, including Facebook, Twitter feeds, CNN, USA Today, the New York Times, the Onion, and your school newspaper.
