2A Thinking Process Develops

After all the readings we have had to do this week all of them have had different point of views on how to be successful in college or what may be affecting you from advancing in your academic path. Some articles I agreed with and others just did not catch my attention. What I have learned from all of these though is that college is the place where the way you think and how you think changes completely. In the article, “How to become a better thinker in college?” states, “The students who make great mental leaps, and really become more sophisticated thinkers, are those who have more than enough time to think about, work on, grapple with, and revel in their coursework”. This quote relates to my social issues class because we are learning about critical thinking and how to become a critical thinker. Learning how to think critically is vital in college because as we progress in our education we learn how to think differently and more advanced.

Sitting in front of the class is definitely one of the tips I will be putting into use for the rest of my college education. By sitting in the front personally, I can pay attention, focus on my work and the material being taught, and have less of a chance to doze off or not be able to understand/hear what the professor is saying. By taking this tip I believe that I will do better in my classes and succeed as a student. One point I did not agree with was about how grammar is the most important thing to know. Yes, I believe grammar is important, but to base job applications off of grammar and determines if you get the job or not is ridiculous. There are more important keys to being successful than just having great grammar skills.
