Critical thinking is purposeful. It involves maintaining an open minded attitude & being able to think about different ways of understanding the information before you. Critical thinking also includes a process of evaluating claims & arguments in order to come to logical & consistent conclusions, assessing these conclusions against clear & relevant criteria or standards, & being able to spell out the reasons for the judgements you have made.’ (Turney 2014).
