An Important skill in today’s era: Critical Thinking
At first when we started with this life class I thought It’s not going to be interesting at all as the name itself is too heavy. But as and when we progressed further it was quite interesting to understand how a small thing can be seen from varied perspective when we evaluate it critically. The documentaries that we saw the different articles about biases and social taboo that we read and discussed about was alarming and eye opener.
I would really like to Thank all the 6 facilitator for sharing interesting engagements with us as well as sharing their life experiences to make us understand the topic better.
I don’t know how much I will be able to remember all the terms that we have learnt in these sessions but I will surely try to evaluate things with different lenses.
Initially when we started the class I was not sure how I will be able to have serious discussions or think critically. However as when we went further there were a mix of intense and mild and engagements and a mix of watching short videos, discussions and reflections. Movies were also included in the plan along with taking our suggestions as and when it was possible.
I would like all the facilitators to be great listeners, facilitating our thinking and asking critical questions. They also shared their experiences in order to help us understand or encourage us to do so. Since we attended this workshop, I am sure it will help us in many aspects of life if we go back to what we have learnt and think where we can implement it.
Agree, the discussions and the engagements helped to understand the big jargons. Indeed the facilitators efforts are reflected. Thank you!
