After you complete your faculty interview, you will research critical thinking inside college and universities.

1. What is happening in the college or university classroom that instills critical thinking?
2. What do employers say about recent college graduates and their ability (or inability) to think critically?
3. What did the instructor say in the interview and how does it compare or contrast to the scholarly research you found? (Check Purdue OWL for how to cite an interview)
