g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v




situations. When applying the principles of critical thinking to a situation, the student should g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v g.v




begin by asking: g.v g.v

the situation. This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is likely not helpful
