So far I feel that I have been pretty well with this class. I have found that most of the readings so far have been pretty entertaining and I have been engaged with them. My favorite assignments that we have done so far this semester were on the Growth Mindset Theory. I really enjoyed those articles and I thought it was a great read for everyone. One thing I need to do is take advantage of the EC that is offered and do some assignments to make up for some missed readings and some points that I forgot to claim in Canvas. I keep forgetting to claim my points after I post my assignments. >_<
For the second half of the course, I am going to try a different strategy with my homework. I want to try and get a lot of the home done during the week over the weekend. It gets tough during the week to do homework late at night. If I could get a big chunk of reading or some assignments done during the weekend, it will make the week a lot easier.

Hi Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and have enjoyed the Growth Mindset Theory extra credit work. I think it’s great that Professor Hiltbrand has included it in her curriculum because many students, myself included, may not have ever studied the theory otherwise. I, like you, would like to start to get ahead of my work for the second half of the semester as well. I think it would create less stress and allow me more time to work on the extra credit opportunities. Good luck with the second half!
I find it interesting to see how everyone else feels like they’re doing in the class. It’s good to see that you’re doing well in the class and it’s cool that you’re able to do the growth mindset theory assignments. I hope you’re able to take advantage of the extra credit and remember to claim your points! Good luck with your homework strategy!
ReplyDeleteHi Patrick! That’s great that you feel like you’re on the right track! I think even with the little hiccups, and I have those too (not claiming points and such), you have got this in the bag! I agree, the motivation is a little lacking late at night for me as well, but it’s always so relieving to get it done. Great work!
