Letter to Your Future Self using critical reasoning

 Directions: Using the concepts learned through the readings and lecture pages, write a letter to yourself on critical reasoning that you will read one year from now. This letter should synthesize the concepts you have learned in Modules 1 and 2 to serve as a “benchmark” for your development as a thinker over the next year. Include the following ideas and terms in your letter: 1. Which parts of the universal intellectual standards or the elements of reason are most difficult for you at this point? What strategies could you implement to grow? 2. To what stage of critical thinking do you aspire in one year? Which parts of the universal intellectual standards and the elements of reason will be most important to your development in critical reasoning? Why? 3. What key concepts or ideas shape your thinking today? How might you actively examine, challenge, and, if necessary, replace these concepts or ideas to expand your critical thinking capacities?
