There are many ways to solve a problem. Good thinking and problem-solving skills will help you contribute to solutions on the job. Employers and colleges will expect you to be able to think analytically and creatively, use logical reasoning and interpret information. You may need to apply skills such as numerical estimation, measurement, calculation, and evaluation to solve problems.
As an example that I have learned critical thinking I am going to show you a powerpoint presentation that I created for a project in political studies. In this project you were in a group of 4 and you had to teach the class for two days. So faced with this huge task of teaching the class in short amount of time we had to come up with a way to teach them. So as part of our lesson plan we created two short lectures in powerpoint for each day.
