Definition of Critical Thinking

The first reading contained the following definition of critical thinking:

According to the article, Critical Thinking as Defined by the National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking, (http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766), “Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action. (Critical Thinking.org)

This definition uses words with which you may be unfamiliar. For our assignment this week, you will need to write an extended definition of each of the following words and demonstrate how these words apply to the critical thinking process and to your own experiences:

• Conceptualizing
• Analyzing
• Synthesizing

Your assignment this week will be a five-paragraph essay, each paragraph should address the following:

Paragraph One

Begin by writing your own definition of critical thinking. Consider the following questions to guide your definition:

• What does it mean to think critically?
• What is the difference between thinking and thinking critically?
• What do we gain or lose by thinking critically?

Paragraphs Two, Three, and Four

Once you have your definition of critical thinking, look up the definition for each of the three words listed above, and, in a paragraph for each word, use those definitions to describe how each of them apply to your definition of critical thinking. Be sure to identify the source or sources where you found your definitions. If you use any direct words from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.

Paragraph Five

In your concluding paragraph, give an example or examples of a time or times when you applied critical thinking in your own life.

Your completed assignment should be written primarily in first person and should be 500-750 words in length. If you use sources in your writing, be sure to identify them. If you use any direct language from a source, be sure to place those words in quotation marks.

Attracting and Staffing

Work Schedule Alternatives

Different types of work schedules have been developed to promote a work-life balance. The typical work week for most employees is five days per week and eight hours per day. Some organizations have implemented compressed work week schedules such as working 10 hour shifts four days per week or even 13 hour shifts three days per week. There are many pluses and minuses to the compressed work week schedule that HR managers should take into consideration. As practical examples, police officers and nurses are known to work a compressed work week. 

SLP Assignment Expectations

Should all organization consider implementing a compressed workweek? What are the pros and cons?

As an HR Manager, which would you promote for all employees and why:

• 5 days a week at 8 hours a day
• 4 days a week at  10 hours a day
• 3 days a week at 13 hours a day
• Justify your response.

SLP Assignment Expectations (Structure)

Your paper should be 2-4 pages, not including the cover sheet and reference page. You are expected to deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series of individual questions to be answered one by one and left at that.

You will be particularly assessed on:

• Your completion of all the steps in the exercise.
• Your ability to synthesize information and present a concise and meaningful paper.
• The clarity and quality of your writing. 

SLP Assignment Expectations (Structure)

2. Your paper will be graded based on the following criteria: Precision, Clarity, Breadth, Depth, Grammar/Vocabulary, Referencing, and Application.
