Critical Thinking Analysis Assignment Instructions
Your critical thinking analysis assignment must be submitted as a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) document attachment. Use the link provided in Course Material for this session.
Please follow the directions for this assignment. Following the directions will impact your grade. On the first page of your paper, please include your name, the assignment title, and the date. You must also include the title of the article you chose to analyze. No cover sheet is necessary.

Follow these instructions as you prepare your critical thinking analysis:
