Degree Planning = Three Types of Thinking

Planning your degree involves creative, critical, and reflective thinking. (links go to YouTube videos on each type of thinking)

  • Creative thinking = thinking "outside the box"; having enough time to consider and articulate your goals and play with possible methods of achieving them

  • Critical thinking = explaining with reasons and research how you've structured and designed your degree, with reference to broader educational and professional expectations

  • Reflective Thinking = thinking abouty your own thinking processes; considering how you learn
