PERFECTIONISM
Gauging you self worth solely on their ability to achieve – not trying at all is better than an attempt that falls short of perfection.

FACING AN OVERWHELMING TASK Some big projects create fear, we may procrastinate to avoid confronting the fear. Although it can bring relief in the short term, avoiding tasks almost always cause problems, such as a buildup of responsibilities and less time to complete them. |

|
|
|

(just sayin’) --- For help on creating questions Bloom’s taxonomy to formulate questions may help (p. 127-129) READ The survey and questions got you started now read actively (focus on key points, answer your questions, mark it up or take notes). RECITE Even if you did this in the READ stage answer (preferably out loud and/or in writing) the questions you had from the Q stage. You could also do this in study groups. REVIEW Reviewing immediately or periodically will help you memorize, understand and learn material. Keep in mind: After each review, you will know more information than you did before you started |

|
(More detail chapter 6. P. 159)
ISSUE 1: DISTRACTIONS This includes internal (worries, tired, hungry) and external (chatting, computer use, noise in general) FIX: Focus – move to a better, less distracting place, get sleep, food (whatever) before arriving and put yoru worries away until after class (are they worth failing? Can they wait?) ISSUE 2: LISTENING LAPSES No one can force you to listen, that is up to you. Maybe you are not interested or it is seems too complicated – this can make the class seem like a waste of time. FIX: Go in with a positive mindset (you want to learn and you CAN), concentrate – you may find it will start to make sense if you do. ISSUE 3: RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT If you take what you hear personally and decide you do not agree or like what is being said (or the instructor) you lose out on the opportunity to learn. FIX: You reactions may be human nature you need to be aware you will learn nothing from shutting out what they are saying (is it worth failing for?). You need to be aware that you are not listening and take steps to stop it. ISSUE 4: PARTIAL HEARING LOSS AND LEARNING DISABILITIES Being unable to hear, for any reason, can prove challenging. FIX: Get help, Can you get listening/hearing aids? Record the lecture for later listening? Meet with your instructor after class? ISSUE 5: COMPREHENSION DIFFICULTIES FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES If English is not your native language it can be a challenge to concentrate, understand and dedicate yourself to listening effectively. FIX: Talk with your instructor. List key terms before class, keep a list of unfamiliar words and phrases to look up later. Focus on the main points and discuss with classmates later. |
