Hi Ena!
Let’s Begin…
Every day, a sea of decisions stretches before us, and it’s impossible to make a perfect choice every time. But there are many ways to improve our chances — and one particularly effective technique is critical thinking. Samantha Agoos describes a 5-step process that may help you with any number of problems.
See this ludic and instructional Ted video to understand better:

I wish you good luck!

Critical thinking is something that you will have to practice. The theory classes that you are taking will probably assist with this. One of the things that you have to do is: "think outside of the box". You have to be able to look at a problem and be able to identify different avenues that can be taken to solve it. A lot of critical thinking comes from experience and learning what to look for. Continuing on with your education is an excellent way to hone your skills. In addition, research is key when trying to be a critical thinker.
When asking about critical thinking, I often share this article with my employees so that they can get an idea of what they should be doing. Main advice, continue on with your education and research. Only then can you become very skilled in this topice.

I found journalling everyday and reading philosophy books helped a lot. It helps you to structure the thoughts and poke holes in your pattern and thinking. There are also podcasts like this - https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/
There are also good courses online like this: https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-philosophy-god-knowledge-and-con-2
Hope this helps!
