CRITICAL
THINKING
In this series you will begin the rearrangement of your thinking process. You will learn how to critique your thinking while you are thinking in order to make your thinking more orderly and fact-based. The final rule for validation of the facts accepted in your thinking is the King James Bible.

Print the pdf copy of the Journal if you want to record the data manually
and scan it for submission or keep an electronic copy on your computer for daily use.
Submission
of Journal:
- You will be required to submit an updated copy of your
Journal at the end of each course in order to receive credit for the course.
- You must use and submit a different Journal for each of the courses in the series.
Each course has its own format for the Journal.
The main portion of the course: The main portion of this class is not the textbook study. The main portion is your daily
practice as you develop and utilize your Critical Thinking skills and record
your progress in your Journal. The main work is rearranging your
thinking so that it will function in an organized and, hopefully, comprehensive
fashion as you progress day by day, week by week, through the course. It is the aim of this first course to help you develop the habit of
constantly critiquing your thinking at all times and in all matters. To facilitate this, the
Journal will be used as a daily assessment guide as well as a means of
accountability. You will turn in an updated copy at the end of each course.

Thinking Part One by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk
Attention: This
first of the three courses is a basic course. Therefore, the tendency on the part of some students will be to rush through it. This is a mistake. Do not rush- do not simply read the material, rather you need to study it, meditate on it, and use it. Practice it!
Do NOT do more than one lesson every 2 week period.
