Critical thinkers routinely evaluate thinking processes and alter them, as necessary, to facilitate an improvement in their thinking and potentially foster certain dispositions or intellectual traits over time.

This outcome is designed to help students recognize the value of a commitment to those responsibilities which will enable them to work successfully individually and with others.
