3 general critical thinking styles:
-info avoiders
-consumers
-strategists
To construct a good argument one must 1st have an accurate hypothesis with points to a reasonable ending.
Facts are less important than thinking skills to an employer because without thinking skills facts are not really useful, and thinking skills are used to solve problems during a job.
Steps to find an ideal solution
1.identify the answer
2.define the answer
3.explore other approaches

-of the 9 different areas of ability, i don't think would best represent me.
-the secondary preference that would best represent me is visual learning, since auditory learning is boring and can make me unfocused during a lecture.
- none of the experiential learning preference would relate to me either.
in class is always boring, especially when the instructor is lecturing. If I would just sit there to listen, I would probably fall asleep in a few minutes, but if i were to be either copying notes or listening to something that interest me then paying attention would be easier.

-My strength at managing time is being able to put together a schedule, but my weakness is maintaining that schedule.
-A bad habit i have is taking my time to do something, which waste too much time, while a good habit is eventually completing the task.
-With the Swiss-cheese approach, I plan on "poking holes in bigger tasks by working on them in small bursts", and by doing so I would be more focus and procrastinate on the tasks less. Those tasks are my group project for business class, my pairs article presentation for English class, and the outline of scholarly paper for MUSE class.
-Activities done more than 3hrs a week: watching TV, playing games, doing HW, & going on the internet.
About all my activities relate to my goal of having fun, instead of learning.

By managing time correctly a person can become less stress. Having an electronic or written planner, spreading out big task into smaller parts, etc can help you manage your time to complete or do many things within a time set. When creating such a planner a help thing to do is prioritizing each activity to know which is more important than the other. Ways to stop procrastinating are organizing a planner, putting deadlines for important activities, breaking up a big activity into smaller ones pushing yourself, and encourage yourself.
For me, I spend too much time playing games, going on the internet, editing videos, and watching TV. I spend too little time studying for certain classes, so I'll to start studying soon or I might forget or fall behind in what is happening in class. I need to spend less time on the internet doing nothing important because that's my most time waster.
