What is the opportunity in any situation?

For example if I fail a course but have learned and remembered half of the content is this an opportunity to learn the other half and be better prepared for university.

Is this an opportunity to learn in an online environment and get proficient at using the online tools such as zoom and padlet?

Is this a chance to know the course better, to redo it knowing what you know now will give you a big advantage over other students just commencing.

Reflect on how you could change this situation to be an opportunity or chance to do it differently...discuss... zoom break out rooms

Do you know more now than what you did before you commenced studying? If so how could you keep this as an advantage all the way through the trimester?

How much do you know of the course/s and how will this help you?

Consider when a time when you felt really positive and motivated...what were you doing and who were you with?

How could you change your situation so that you continue to feel some of these positive feelings?

Why did you decide to commence in higher education in the first place?

How important is this to you?
