Problem Solving

Using the five steps from Ch. 5 of Thinking Critically, create a plan for solving a problem you are currently facing. For the last step, identify how you will determine the effectiveness of your chosen solution.
Step 1: What is the problem?
Step 2: What are the alternatives?
Step 3: What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of each alternative?
Step 4: What is the solution?
Step 5: How well is the solution working?

Write a 100- to 150- word reflection about this process. How did this process help you devise a solution? How can you use this process with future problems? Will this work for all problems you face? Why or why not?
