Students at the advanced level acknowledge the continual nature of learning. They regularly conduct research or look for new information. They are familiar with key resources in their field of study and the unique features of information creation and dissemination within their discipline. They effectively combine and recombine knowledge. Advanced students actively transfer successful strategies from one domain of knowledge to another.
Advanced-level critical thinking students will be able to...
- Identify and use relevant resources within a major or subject area (books, journals, government documents,
primary/secondary resources, Internet resources, scholarly journals, popular magazines, etc.)
- Evaluate, examine, and select information for quality, accuracy, authority, and reliability
- Identify a variety of types and formats of potential sources for information
- Conduct effective search strategies using Boolean operators, truncation, controlled vocabulary, and proximity
searching in the online catalog and specialized subject indexes
- Demonstrate an understanding of copyright and fair use of copyrighted material
- Transfer critical thinking skills upon graduation to pursue a continuing interest in learning,
and to become a more self-directed, independent, life-long learner
