Order Description

Write a critical thinking paper on this journal:
http://www.uic.edu/classes/bstt/bstt513/Addict2007.pdf

What is the purpose for the article?
What is the author trying to accomplish?
What issues or problems are raised?
What data, experiences, and evidence are given?
What concepts are used to organize this data and experiences?
How is the author thinking about the world?
Is her thinking justified as far as we can see from your perspective?
And how does she justify it from her perspective?
How can we enter her perspective to appreciate what she has to say?

There are four types or levels of critical thinking questions students should use in their paper. They are (1) summary/definition, (2) analysis, (3) hypothesis, and (4) evaluation. I have given some examples of these questions taken from Randall (2002).

Summary and Definition Questions: what is (are)…? who…? when…? how much…? how many…? what is an example of…?

Analysis Questions: how…? why…? what are the reasons for…? what the types of…? what is the process of…? what other examples of…? what are the causes/ results of…? what is the relationship between …and …? what is the similarity or difference between… and…? how does …apply to …? what is (are) the problems or conflicts or issues…? what are possible solutions/ resolutions to these problems or conflicts or issues…? what is the main argument or thesis of…? how is this argument developed…? what evidence or proof or support is offered…?

Hypothesis Questions if…occurs, then what happens…? if …had happened, then what would be different…? what does theory x predict will happen…?

Evaluation Questions is…good or bad…? …..correct or incorrect…? …..effective or ineffective…? …..relevant or irrelevant…? …..clear or unclear…? …..logical or illogical…? …..applicable or not applicable…? …..ethical or unethical…? what are the advantages or disadvantages of…? what are the pros or cons of…? what is the best solution to the problem / conflict / issue…? do I agree or disagree …? what is my opinion…? what is my support for my opinion…?
