Hello! This is my Core Competencies Self assessment, I would like to start by saying I have chosen Critical thinking for reasons I will explain.

I can use Critical Thinking to gather information and use it on projects. For example, when we were assigned the Sway project where we had to explain an element on the periodic table I used Critical Thinking to gather info and understand what exactly to do! I would also use Critical Thinking when reflecting on my Sway project. If I understood correctly Critical thinking is gathering/applying/evaluating Information.

I also used this skill when learning how to draw Bohr diagrams. A Bohr diagram is pretty much the build of a specific atom on paper. At first, I really didn’t understand but after looking at other people’s diagrams and taking clues out of the teacher’s language I quickly learned how to create one. Even though I could have asked I opted to figure it out myself and start from seemingly, the ground up.

Overall critical thinking is a valuable skill that I have been learning.
