The Mind Module
It is part of your Enriched Major that you not only develop strong specialized competence through your major studies, but that you also develop your thinking skills. As students at a great university, this is the time to develop your thinking skills to your fullest--your future studies and career will be enhanced. Plan on leaving the university not only with a great major and general education, but also with strong thinking skills. They will serve you well.
Developing your Thinking Skills
Everyone has thinking skills in virtue of being human, but your skills need to be actively developed, refined and used. This is why we spend time in this section of the course to help make you aware of your enormous powers of mind. It is probably true what we often hear: Humans use only a fraction of their brain capacity.
Mind Module
This part of the Discovery System can be used in several ways. After you write the first draft of a paper, scan the Critical Writing checklist. If you find yourself in a group exercise, look at the Team Thinking Skills section. Before you give a presentation, scan the presentation tips.
