CTS WEEK 1
Q1. Describe your understanding of critical thinking that you had before the class, and reflect on what you may have learned.
-At first I thought critical thinking was about using your brain but on a deeper level. But after week 1 lesson on critical thinking I learned that it isn't something that you can master straight away as it takes time. Critical thinking is about problem solving and knowing how to handle a certain project. Critical thinking is about knowing how to question, analyse, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write and the end result is to have good beliefs
Q2. What have you learned about Mindfulness?How might you integrate this into your learning environment?
-What I have learned about mindfulness is that I need to be careful and pay attention to my present moment. I also learned that I need to be open, accepting and discerning attention to everything I do. Lastly, I need to accept and love myself as I am always looking down on myself and having negative thoughts about my appearance.
- How I will integrate this into my learning environment is to be accepting and open whenever I have negative feedback as those words are able to help me grow as a person.
-I need to start being positive and start accepting my imperfections as no one is perfect.
Q3. Describe an eventful moment you have experienced in this class.
-I would say the most eventful moment I have experienced is making new friends with local students and international students. I am glad that I made friends with international students as they taught me new words in their native language and I am able to learn about their cultures which is really fascinating to me as I am someone who loves to learn new things.
