Fixed vs Growth Mindset

What do you have a fixed mindset about? How can you promote a growth mindset in yourself and others?

Here's a link to the Ted Talk by Eduardo Briceno and the Stanford Talk by Carol Dwek, on "Developing a Growth Mindset" that we watched in class today. You might want to watch them again without classroom distractions.

If you didn't turn in the close reading and reflection assignment that was due today, please complete it, and turn it on Tuesday in class. You will be expected to up your game immediately. Consider it a growth opportunity.

Tuesday's class will be held in our regular classroom and not in the library.

Welcome to NDNU and the First Year Seminar!

Welcome! Please remember that if you run into difficulties or have any questions, you can almost always find me in 106 St Joseph's Hall after class until about 12:30 and by appointment.

Before Thursday's class, please download and read the article, "How Not to Talk to Your Kids." Use the methods described in class and in the Harvard Reading Strategies to purposefully annotate it, and then use your annotations to write a one-page response to the article. Both your annotated copy of the article and your response will be due in class on Thursday.
