In this episode, I continue my coverage of the NACE Career Readiness Competencies. The focus here is Critical Thinking, which is a very broad topic so conversations can cover a wide range. To help me with this conversation, I needed someone who oversees something that is also broad in scope, which caused me to look at the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. At South Dakota State University, the college encompasses 7 different schools with a wide range of disciplines and degrees. Who better to help me discuss critical thinking than the person who oversees this college? Dr. David Earnest, who currently serves as the Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, joined me to explore the topic of critical thinking and he provides many good items to consider. Dr. Earnest is an accomplished scholar, educator and administrator. I’m sure you will find his thoughts helpful, and I hope you take a moment to reflect on his comments.
