4.2 Complex situations require critical thinking across multiple
disciplines
American Literature Research Paper
3.5-4.0
Analyze and defend the logic of complex situations by questioning the purpose, question at
issue, information, points of view, implications and consequences inferences, assumptions and
concepts
Evaluate and analyze strengths and weaknesses of your logic and logic of others by using
criteria including relevance, clarity, accuracy, fairness, significance, depth, breadth, logic and
precision
Determine and evaluate the extent to which they entered empathetically into competing points of
view, exercised confidence in reason, recognized the limits of their knowledge on the topic
(intellectual humility), explored alternative approaches to solving or addressing complex problems
(intellectual flexibility), and were open to constructive critique (intellectual open-mindedness)
Analyze and assess the logic of the interdisciplinary domains inherent in reasoning through
complex situations
2.5-3.0
Monitor and assess the extent to which your own beliefs and biases influence your reactions to
