As we approach the end of the term and final exams and papers, it's time to consider higher-level thinking skills that college courses are designed to help you develop.

College isn't just about amassing content knowledge. You could do that on your own, given a good library and a lot of internal motivation, or a skilled mentor and many years of hard experience. Learning stuff is important, but what is even more important--and what college, in particular, is supposed to help you do--is learning how to use the stuff you learned, or how to create it yourself.

This week, your class work and homework are designed to help you:

Identify and define higher-order thinking skills that are important in your intellectual development.
Employ such skills in your college work and beyond.
