As you read a text for the first time, mark an X in the margin at each point where you feel a personal challenge to your attitudes, beliefs, or status. Make a brief note in the margin about what you feel or about what in the text created the challenge.
Now look again at the places you marked in the text where you felt personally challenged. What patterns do you see? Outlining and summarizing: Identifying the main ideas and restating them in your own words. Outlining and summarizing are especially helpful strategies for understanding the content and structure of a reading selection. Whereas outlining reveals the basic structure of the text, summarizing synopsizes a selection's main argument in brief. Outlining may be part of the annotating process, or it may be done separately as it is in this class.
The key to both outlining and summarizing is being able to distinguish between the main ideas and the supporting ideas and examples.
The main ideas form the backbone, the strand that holds the various parts and pieces of the text together. Outlining the main ideas helps you to discover this structure. When you make an outline, don't use the text's exact words. Course content. Session 3. About this free course 24 hours study.

In this environment we must consider information in an analytical, critical manner. We must ask questions—What is the source of this information? Is this source an expert one and what makes it so? Are there multiple perspectives to consider on an issue? Do multiple sources agree or disagree on an issue?
Does quality research substantiate information or opinion? Do I have any personal biases that may affect my consideration of this information? It is only through purposeful, frequent, intentional questioning such as this that we can sharpen our critical thinking skills and improve as students, learners and researchers. Thinking comes naturally. But you can make it happen in different ways.
For example, you can think positively or negatively. You can also think strategically and analytically, and mathematically and scientifically.
These are a few of multiple ways in which the mind can process thought. As a college student, you are tasked with engaging and expanding your thinking skills.
