Part 3 – Reflective Essay

This course was designed to give first-year students the skills and tools they need for academic success. The choices you made each week as you read the lectures and worked on your project controlled how many of these valuable skills and tools you learned over the past 15 weeks. This learning was deepened by our reading and discussion of Mindset, GRIT, and The Happiness Advantage, all of which emphasize the powerful role our thinking plays in the quality of our lives.

• What did you put into this course? (Describe your effort.)
• What have you taken away from this course? (Describe any changes you’ve undergone, skills you’ve learned, transformations, realizations, insights, etc.)
