Critical Thinking Points

* Don't procrastinate on unpleasant tasks

-Put unpleasant tasks high on your list of priorities

*Break a complex task into parts

If a task is complex and also unpleasant , break it into a number of parts , and work on it one part at a time

Break a term paper into components for library research and then tie it up

*Take charge of your mind

Mind can process 500 words in a minute and a lecture is around 150 words. Hence it's a good idea to take notes during a lecture .

*Capture insights by sms or whatsapp to yourself when they come

*Reading

Take a chapter and skim through first two paragraphs and last

Quietly think of the intent of the author and summarize

Read entire without underlining

Then underline

Review what you read

*Factual knowledge is knowing about. Performance knowledge is knowing how, sometimes referred to as “know-how.” The terms are roughly equivalent, respectively, to “book smart” and “street smart.” Both factual knowledge and performance contribute to intelligence, so it is unfortunate that they are thought to be in opposition to each other

*Performance Knowledge is ignored as it is more active and dynamic . It requires thinking skill which can be raised

*Two kinds of thinking

a)by widening your focus and looking at options

b)narrowing your focus and looking at the problem critically

Ability to evaluate ideas is important

*Feeling is no substitute for thinking

*Distinguish between facts and opinions
