Sarah Edelsohn: Evaluation Questions


Evaluation Questions

1.     Were the participants honest with themselves?
Always. I believe for the most part the she was honest with herself,
2.     Were their opinions bases on facts or personal experiences?
Kayleigh relied on facts as well as personal opinions
3.     Did they revise judgment when new evidence arose?
Sometimes.
4.     Were they an emotional debater following their feelings and acting impulsively?
Sometimes, she was passionate, but knew how to use it to make a point, but not overly so, that she couldn’t see other opinions.
5.     Did they hold a firm stance on their position or was it weak?
Firm. She knew what she was talking about but used additional information to her advantage
6.     Was participant willing to listen to both side of the story?
Sometimes. She was willing to listen to up until a point, but usually reverted back to her own opinion.
7.     Did they dismiss problems as a nuisance and a threat to their ego or not?
Never. She seemed able to take the conversation into a pleasant(ish) area.
8.     Are they interested in other people ideas?
Sometimes. She would listen to the question, and sometimes-new information or opinions would change her view.
9.     Do they seek a fair balanced view striving for understanding?
Always.
10. The participant demonstrates the three values of critical thinking interpretation, investigation, and judgment?
Sometimes. She had her own (positive) view on the average person’s ability to have a gun but was able to listen to other opinions although most of the time “stuck to her guns”

Overall I think that Kayleigh is a Critical thinker but could stand to take more opinions into consideration.
