Read Chapter 7 pages 189-195 in your On Course textbook. In this section we will learn about Growth Mindset. Having a growth mindset encourages us to accept challenges, to work hard, to learn from mistakes, to change course if needed, and to keep going despite setbacks and failures. In this activity, you will explore course corrections that you need to make to improve your outcomes and experiences.
Assignment:
- Write a paragraph and describe an important course correction you have made in the past. You can describe an example in your past from any aspect of your life (i.e., college, social life, finances, spirituality, etc.,). Explain how you became aware that you were off course. Describe the feedback you received- from inside or outside of yourself- informing you that you were off course. In other words, how did you recognize that you were off course? What did you do to change course, and how did your efforts turn out? Most important, what did you learn from this experience?
- Think back to the situations you described above, are there any resources -either on or off campus- that would have helped get you back on course?
