LIFT Workshop: Growth Mindset (Tuesday, May 16th) by Kara Whitman https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw Dear Professor Growth Mindset, I am not good at science so this class is hard. I screwed up on the first three assignments and I am planning to drop this class. Every time I run into a formula I’ve memorized, I don’t know what to do next so I always get the assignment wrong. Then I think about declaring a different major. Thank you, Fix Minded Student en-us 2017-05-15 17:38:37 UTC 2024-05-23 14:20:03 UTC hello@padlet.com How would you give 1-2 sentences written feedback that encourages a growth mindset? kmwhitman1 https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/171908262 2017-05-15 17:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/171908262 You described the experiment really clearly. Use the same specificity as you report the implications of the study. https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172181992 2017-05-16 19:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172181992 https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172182115 I appreciate how hard you've worked on this assignment - your attention to detail and critical depth of thought shows.]]> 2017-05-16 19:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172182115 https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172182151 I like the clarity of your thesis statement, as well as the way you clearly previewed the main parts of your speech. I'd like to see you also include a clear transition to your first main point. ]]> 2017-05-16 19:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172182151 https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172182185 This move worked really well

Let's meet after class and discuss how you're learning, how much time you're spending studying, and using the formulas. I noticed you memorized the formulas but want to make sure you understand. Here's another example of how the formula could be applied. Does that make sense to you? We may want to connect you with other students who are doing well in the class to form study groups. ]]> 2017-05-16 19:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172183961 Dear stuck student, https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172184072 This is a challenging class, many students experience similar challenges. Lets meet in person to talk specifically about your assignments and how we can get you back on track.

It shows dedication. Let's talk about the next phase of your work with the formulas. We may be anle to identifysome additional, more helpful strategies. Please contact me with your availability for a meeting in the next couple of days. https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172184133 2017-05-16 19:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172184133 Stuck, https://padlet.com/kmwhitman1/1zoycne8wvpw/wish/172184154 Thanks for your email. I really appreciate you reaching out. First of all, I think it's great that you keep working at the assignments, and are trying to apply the material, such as the formulas you've memorized. I think there are some strategies that might help you apply those more effectively, and I'd be happy to share them with you. Would you be open to a conversation about the class and your options before you make a final decision? I have availability on Tuesday. Let me know what time would work for you.
