Problem Solving

Written Communication, Oral Communication, Information Literacy, and Critical Thinking sound like academic skills, but they are much more - we use these skills in our everyday lives.  Example: vacation travel  

  • Recognize - that while planning a trip to a country that you know very little about, hoping to have a relaxing vacation, you start looking for advice.
  • Locate -You found a person’s travel blog, and thought they sounded very knowledgeable about the country.
  • Evaluate - the source.  Can you find this person’s credentials? How do you know the information can be trusted? Should you use a more authoritative site, or travel agency?  What if you find out that the exotic-looking hotel the blogger raved about hasn’t been updated in decades and has bugs the size of your fist that sleep with you at night?
  • Use - the information that you've found, compare, make your best judgment, have a great vacation!
