Critical thinking essays will showcase your knowledge of the competencies in light of the materials that have been presented.

You are responsible to demonstrate your learning by considering multiple perspectives and referencing at least three sources of content that have been assigned this week. Your essay should be 625-700 words and focus on the following:

What you learned about each competency presented this week
What new information you gathered from this week's PPTs, videos, articles and assigned reading
What critical thinking took place for you and what new connections were made

The critical thinking essays are graded; 50 points per essay. Review the grading rubric to earn maximum points. Instead of the instructor posing specific questions to determine your progress and substantive knowledge gained, you get to tell the instructor what you have learned from the weekly content by focusing on the criteria listed above. In addition if you wish to research outside the content provided, please feel free to do so; you must, however, use module content as well.

Additional Assignment Requirements

Use APA formatting, New Times Roman (12 pt) font, and one-inch margins.

Assignments will be uploaded and use Turnitin an anti-plagiarism tool.
