Reflect phase

Reflect phase

 

Are your study strategies effective? Do you believe myths about learning?

Group of students study at home. Learning and preparing for university exam.

These students are about to write their final exam in this course.

 

In the next activity, you’ll see how they have been preparing throughout the semester and decide if you see any similarities to your own approaches. You’ll see if you believe some common myths about learning.1 You’ll also be asked to rate opposing words to help you take stock of your feelings on this subject as you start the course.2

Now that you’ve reflected on your feelings towards this course, let’s move on to discuss the concept of mindfulness. In the next couple of chapters, you will reflect on your present-time awareness and mindful qualities; both of which are necessary skills to self-regulated learning and will help you stay focused this semester.
