Discussion Post: Thinking Critically
To think critically means to use all of the knowledge you have acquired from the information covered during this section of our course: your reading, your own writing, the writing and responses of other students and class discussions to reflect deeply on your work and the genre of writing you produced.
The benefit of thinking critically is proven and important. Thinking critically about what you have learned will help you remember it longer, ensuring that you will be able to put it to good use well beyond this writing course.
You learned a great deal about this genre. Now, I would like you to take some time to reflect not only on what you learned but how you learned it.
a) If you were to give advice to a student on how to write an expository essay, what wold you tell them?
b) Discuss hat you learned about your self as a writer and researcher in the process of writing this essay.
c) If you had more time to work on your essay, how would you spend it?
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
