TFYCh 8 Viewpoints: What’s the filter?
In Critical Thinking it is important to always understand what you are reading. This may sound obvious but there are times when one can read some thing but not fully understand its meaning. You must be able to understand the writer view point, what are they assuming, what do they want the readers to believe after they have read there work. Once you understand where the writer is coming from and what their focus is you can go on to form your own opinions and ideas. Now you can use critically thinking to look at all different aspects of the writing because you have first seen it in all angles.

TFY Ch7 Evaluations What’s Judged?
Evaluations make judgments about worth on the basis of standards that may be conscious or unconscious. It can help us react quickly to situation where our survival is a stake. Evaluations are not facts. Factual reports keep the distinction between facts and evaluations clear.
Propaganda employs many sophisticated manipulative techniques of persuasion. One of these is the use of hidden evaluations. A critical thinker knows how to recognize and detach from the influence of propaganda.
Connotative words convey evaluations that can be used to sway our opinions. When we think critical

Chapter 6 Opinions: what’s Believed?
Opinions are one of the few things that are based clearly on an individual personal ideas and thoughts. It’s what makes us different from one another. If everybody had the same opinions perhaps we would live in a much more peaceful world, but it would be so boring everybody would view everything in the same way not much would have been accomplished. Opinions can be formed in so many different ways and for different reasons. One way can be based on taste for example some people may like the way something taste while others may despise. Another example would be more of an educated opinion such as individual who studies a certain scientific procedure may come up with a theory of what going to happen or why it happen, which will most likely be different that what another scientist may think.

Chapter 6. Finding Supporting Details
It is very important to locate the main idea and the major supporting details in a reading assignment are the foundation of college reading. The authors use details to help reads understand the supporting details. As privacy stated, major supporting details provide support for the main idea of a reading. They are commonly presented in the form of examples illustrations, explanations, definitions, facts of opinions. They typically answer who, what, when, how, and why? Minor supporting details are intended to clarify and enhance the major supporting details and are not usually considered as important. However some of them are significant and useful. It is important to prioritize details.
Once you identify the main ideas of on your reading material, you can divide the rest of the material into two categories major and main supporting details. If you are able to distinguish between the major and main supporting details, in your reading materials, it means you have understood what you have reading.

Assumption is a pre-existing belief, for example it would be wise to assume that walking the streets of Oakland at night souls be unsafe. Assumptions may also sprout from experiences such as, every time I walk passed by neighbors house there dog barks, so from then on I know when I go passed there front yard I am going to hear a barking dog.
Assumption and Inference are deeply intertwined, our assumptions come from our belief our inference comes form our assumptions this basics of how human nature comes up with logical reasoning.

Reasoning - act of using reason to derive a conclusion from certain premises. There are two main methods to reach a conclusion. One is deductive reasoning, in which given true premises, the conclusion must follow (the conclusion cannot be false). This sort of reasoning is non-ampliative - it does not increase one's knowledge base, since the conclusion is self-contained in the premises. A classical example of deductive reasoning are syllogism.
Conclusion - decision: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration; "a decision unfavorable to the opposition"; "his conclusion took the evidence into account"; "satisfied with the panel's determination"; an intuitive assumption; "jump to a conclusion".
Guess - think: expect, believe, or suppose; put forward, of a guess, in spite of possible refutation.
Explanation - a statement that makes something comprehensible by describing the relevant structure or operation or circumstances etc.
Imagine - form a mental image of something that is not present or that is not the case.
Infer-deduce: reason by deduction; establish by deduction.
Inference - the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation.
Interpret - make sense of; assign a meaning to; "What message do you see in this letter?"; "How do you interpret his behavior?"

Inference thinking is natural to humans, if some one walks up to us with a gun in there hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen

Time is not the only criterion used in judging reading efficiency in college. It is not even most important one. Efficient reading can be defined as being able to read and comprehend textbook material in an appropriate amount of time for you.
Deciding what an appropriate amount of time is for you depends on many factors. It is related to how much time you actually have available to read for each course, the level of difficult of the textbook material, and the grade you want to earn in a course.
How to manage your reading is more important than learning how to read rapidly. Always make comprehension your primary goal: reading efficiently the first time through is often faster. If you make speed your priority, you may finish more quickly, but understand less. As a result, you may have to reread material before a test in order to understand and remember it, which is time-consuming.
Track your reading rates so you can create daily reading plans that set realistic goals for your classes each week. After using a study schedule and daily reading plans for several weeks, you will find that you begin to complete your reading assignments on time. Your reading comprehension will also improve, and you may even read a little faster. The reading tips suggested in this chapter that will contribute to your becoming a more efficient reader are: reading quickly when appropriate, skimming, regressing or rereading ,sub vocalizing, pacing.

In critical thinking we must evaluate all parts of a situation before coming to a final conclusion. We must observe all that surrounds our argument otherwise how can one come to a educate conclusion. You must not only look for facts that are present but also facts that are not there, narrowing down what it truth from foe. When taking observation you must know the difference between a reliable observation and an unreliable observation. It is also important while collecting all this data to not allow it to sway your judgment because it is an ongoing process, keep an open mind until you have the full picture in front of you.
