Artifact

My comparison essay discussing the differences and similarities between Charlie and Ray was a good example of how my thinking and ability to support my thinking increased throughout the semester

Core Competency

Critical and Reflective Thinking: I can analyze evidence to make judgements.

I have demonstrated the “Thinking” competency in this artifact when I had to compare and contrast the characters, Charlie and Ray, from the two different stories. To do this I considered the evidence. What did they say to different people and about different issues. How did they act towards different people. How did they change throughout their respective stories and why did that change happen. By asking these questions I was able to figure out how Charlie and Ray were similar and how they were different.

Thinking Competency

I used the Thinking Competency, and more specifically the critical and reflective thinking part of this competency during and after our Cell Membrane diffusion lab.

During the lab I made a hypothesis about which molecules would diffuse. To make a good educated guess I had to critically think about which molecules in the solutions were big and not likely to fit through the microscopic holes in the semi-permeable membrane.

After the lab I had to think reflectively to make my conclusion. I reflected on what could have been done better in the lab, any changes we could make in the lab and anything that could make the lab more effective in helping me understand different mathematical applications to the principals of diffusion in the lab. I also thought critically to provide and explain the points that supported and did not support the hypotheses that I made.
