When thinking about how, or even if, my critical thinking skills have changed throughout this course, I noticed that they actually have grown. I feel that I am able to be more open minded and view certain ideas from a different perspective. It may not change my opinion or view of the subject matter or idea, but I am definitely more open to the new ideas. I have enjoyed the discussion posts the most because it gives me another perspective other than my own. I feel like this is the part of the course that I benefit from the most. I would have to say that the portion of the class that has changed my views and perspectives the most would be the Claim vs. Fact discussion post. I feel that this particular discussion post allowed my critical thinking to get a ‘kick start’. I was able to look at facts from a different perspective, and to take certain ideas with a grain of salt until I am able to look at it from a research based perspective. I feel that this course is going to be a memorable one.
