I found the videos to be incredibly interesting. I’ve always been curious about why most
things were grade by the end result rather than the process to get the
result. Especially in math, we were
always encouraged to show work, but then the way the problems were worked out
was not accounted for in the grade. That
always seemed so odd to me. I’ve never
heard of Carol Dweck, but I found most of what she said to go hand in hand with
my own personal experiences. The biggest
thing that I learned in college is that I got away without making much effort
to learn in high school. College was
completely different. Even though I was
taking higher level classes, I never had to study. In college, I had to teach myself to study
because things got more challenging. I
think my biggest challenge for learning new things is to not get frustrated
whenever things don’t come to me naturally.
I’m really interested in learning more about the growth mindset. I’m hoping it will help me finish kicking the
habits that I picked up when I was younger.
