Quality Enhancement Plan: - A carefully designed course of action that addresses a well- defined and focused topic or issue related to measurably enhancing student learning outcomes. - In short, a plan to help you succeed in the classroom and life. - So what is ATC’s QEP Topic…?!

Learn More, Earn More, Live More with CT. Critical Thinking: “THINK!”

Learn More, Earn More, Live More with CT. ATC’s Definition of Critical Thinking: Critical thinking is the open- minded, deliberate, dynamic, and reflective process of collecting, analyzing, evaluating, and applying information in order to reach a reasonable position, decision, and/or plan of action.

If you didn’t like our definition: Critical Thinking is thinking about how you think in order to make your thinking better. Critical Thinking is problem solving. Critical Thinking is thinking outside the box for alternative solutions to life’s problems. … so what do your instructors want you to be able to do as a result of ATC’s “Think!” QEP? (…with some visual examples of what NOT to do.):
