General Questions
13
More on Critical Thinking Skills
  • These questions are designed to test your
    critical thinking skills and wit
  • A man carefully pointed his car due east and then
    drove for two miles. He was then two miles west
    of where he started from. Why?
  • A woman unwrapped a lump of sugar and put it into
    her coffee, but the sugar did not get wet. Why?
  • Why is it that Beethoven never finished the
    Unfinished Symphony?
  • What is the invention, first discovered in
    ancient times, that allows people to see through
    solid walls?

14
Critical Thinking-Discussion
  • Think about how well you did on the questions on
    the previous slide.
  • Think about your reaction when you heard the
    correct answer to each question.
  • Why is it important to examine information
    closely during the critical thinking
    problem-solving process?

15
Reminders
  • No late work accepted after Sunday, January 23rd.
    I submit my grades to Kaplan at the conclusion of
    the class and will not have access to the
    grade-book soon after.
  • Try to submit your Unit 9 Assignment/Project a
    few days early to avoid any complications. If
    there is a technical problem or you accidentally
    submitted the wrong Project (happens all the
    time), you will have time to correct it. Dont
    procrastinate! Your passing grade might depend on
    it.
  • On the Career Action form use complete sentences
    and include your introduction and conclusion.
    Remember, we are writing at college level (Five
    sentences does not meet above-average work.). Do
    not forget to reference class Unit reading.
    Example (KU Course, CS113, Unit , 1002B). Make
    sure you have the reference page included.

Looking forward to Unit 10
  • Unit 9 (today) is our last audio Seminar
    together! Unit 10 does NOT have a Seminar. I
    found the class Unit discussions have been very
    rewarding! Thank you for sharing and all your
    insights. I encourage you all to continue with
    your future goals. Perhaps our paths will cross
    again, someday. It has been a pleasure for me and
    I wish only the best for each and every one of
    you. Good luck in your future endeavors!

27
Class Exercise
  • I would like to try another class exercise with a
    twist on it. I need one volunteer. Are you up
    to the challenge? Is anyone daring and interested
    in volunteering without knowing the details? Just
    raise your hand to volunteer by typing //

28
Class Exercise (continued)
  • I want my one volunteer to think of one name of a
    well-known person. (Do not tell us yet). The
    person may be living or dead and can have
    achieved celebrity status in any field (business,
    technology, sports, entertainment, politics, arts
    and literature, science, medicine, etc.).
  • The rest of the class is the guessing team. The
    guessing team will be timed for 3 minutes to come
    up with whom the famous person is. The Volunteer
    must use their keyboard to help the receivers.
    The Volunteer can use words, visual icons
    symbols, or anything that will help the class
    guess. But the Volunteer can NOT type ANY part of
    the persons name.
  • The guessing class asks as many questions as
    possible (using assumptions, critical thinking,
    scientific method, or problem solving skills) to
    come up with the correct answer.
  • Volunteer Let us know when you are ready by
    typing ready and Ill start the time.

29
Discussion on Seminar exercise.
  • How did the time limit, teamwork atmosphere, or
    speed of the typing affect your ability to
    participate?

30
Reflection
  • I am glad I was a part of your success during
    this class. I watched each and every one of you
    grow (especially when referring back to class
    work)! You all will be pros when it comes to
    writing your college thesis. I hope I get to
    personally meet you when you walk across the
    stage and graduate. I look forward to shaking
    your hand and patting you on the back for a job
    well done and well deserved. Best to you all.
