In My First Year University Course There Was A Class I Remember As Being Mandatory (at Least For English

In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.

Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them

Shoutout to neurodivergent people who struggle with critical thinking.

A lack of critical thinking skills is often ridiculed online. It's seen as laziness, a lack of effort, intelligence or training. Naive and ignorant. A personal fault you need to work on, or else you're part of the problem.

For some people, their lack of abilities in this field is an integrate part of their neurodivergence. It could be a problem with executive functions, or a difference in thinking patterns, processing or world-view. We can have problems recognizing lies and falsities, how opinions differ from facts, the role of rules, thinking "outside the box", forming theories and conclusions, seeing different viewpoints, etc.

Critical thinking is an important skill that people benefit from learning. But it's like any other skill; some people are naturally good at it and some have major disadvantages. Learning and practicing help you get better, but it won't magically change who you are.

If you're neurodivergent and struggle with critical thinking, know that you're not lazy or ignorant. You have a difference in your brain that make certain things harder for you. And that's shouldn't be mocked.

Is this an neurodivergent thing to be really really shy and introverted but doing presentations in school with absolutely no problem and even finding it fun? Is this because with presentations we had already scripted everything we were going to say and especially enjoyed talking about a topic of our interest but with normal conversations we didn't know how to act spontaneously or "socially" acceptable? Does this make sense?
