What does critical thinking mean to me.

Critical thinking.


When I think of critical thinking, I think of analysis and I think of...well, thinking. Very deep thinking. pondering a thought and seeing what you can add or subtract, breaking it down and building it back up as well. I also think about quick thinking, coming to a successful conclusion efficiently, thinking on your feet.
That's quite a bit. Honestly, I don't think I know what critical thinking is, without looking it up, that is,


When I read things, i try to retain but sometimes what I read doesn't retain for very long, and that is bothersome. When it comes to studying, I don't have a proper method for studying because my ability to retain what I study is so low.


I do think critically about media and politics sometimes. When I can i would think too hard about a certain article or a certain comment, but other times very profane comments or commercials just pass me by. I do try to exercise my mind at every opportunity.


What I expect from this class? I expect to be able to retain more. I expect that from this class I will learn how to get more out of studying or reading or simply watching TV or listening to music. Also, on the research end, I hope that this class will give me more tools to use as I go through college and through my working life to use towards research.
