When discussing academic habits of mind, what instantly comes to mind? When this was asked in class, instantly I was stumped.. but after further discussion we came up with four main academic habits if mind:
1.) Curiosity- The characteristic of wanting to inquire about certain academic fields.
2.) Rhetorical Sensitivity- The ability to understand certain writing situations, such as tone, style, and format.
3.) Critical Analysis- Looking for specifics beyond the surface- reading for information and for analysis. The process of asking questions: asking the reader, yourself, and the author such things like "why, who, why it was written, why it's important, & what can I do with this."
-> Explicit- Outright on the surface: straight forward.
-> Implicit- Implied that the reader must look deeper for a stronger sense of an analysis.
4.) Civility- Being open to accepting other ideas in a respectful ad civil manner. It ties into the ability of being able to possess no biases and have multiple perspectives.
