Critical Thinking:
Your thinking process organizes the world you see into relationships that make sense to you; thinking helps you understand the world and what is happening. These relationships that help you understand the world are also called patterns, which include patterns of the following types: Chronological, Process, Comparative & Causal. In this unit, you will explore the way you use these thinking patterns, and others, to organize your beliefs and knowledge (Unit IV). You will learn that the quality and accuracy of your beliefs are dependent on the information, inferences, and judgments with which you support them. You will recognize how some beliefs are perceived to be better than others because they appear more accurate, complete, and grounded in plausible inferences, or they are based on valid judgments.
