Missed Post (10/25)

This week of class I was sick and missed Wednesday and Friday's classes. In class that Monday, though, we talked about problem solving techniques. A good point that was brought up in class was that vigilant thinkers ask questions. Throughout my college career I've learned that the best way to learn/remember something is to ask questions about the topic that will bring you a deeper understanding of the topic. Asking questions expands your horizons on a given topic and requires you to go into a deeper thought process so that you may come up with a relevant question. Something new that I learned in that class was the five steps for reflective thinking. These steps are: 1. Identify the problem, 2. Analyze the problem, 3. Generate several possible solutions, 4. Select the best possible solution, and 5. Test/Implement the solution. We also got into new groups to work on a different project, but I was unable to work with the group due to being sick one week and having a family emergency the next week.
