Act phase
It’s time to act!
At the beginning of this module we looked at how Tracy was preparing for her semester (Activity 2).
Hopefully as you’ve worked through this module, you have set your priorities and goals, decided on a schedule (that you’ve put in a visible place), and have identified study strategies and resources. Now you’re ready to act!
During the semester, keep asking yourself:
Set a reminder for yourself to come back before your first major assessment and do the check-in so that you can reflect on the progress you’re making, revise your plans if necessary and then act on them. You may want to add other reminders to your calendar or planner now, too. These could include revisiting sections in the module, such as mindfulness.
Be mindful, keep working toward a consistent growth mindset and have a great semester!
This phase involves putting your plans into action. You will carry out your plan, continue to monitor your progress, and make any adjustments you feel necessary. Always ask yourself, "How am I progressing toward my goals and the course's learning outcomes? What am I doing to achieve my goals?"
The belief that your basic abilities can be developed and cultivated through hard work and dedication. Someone with a growth mindset views their basic skills and talents as a starting point, therefore creating a love of learning and resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Great learners are made, not born.
