Habits of Mind

Curiosity

I’m always curious about things I will be learning or learnt. In this writing class, especially, I am curious about what are my classmates’ thought on different topics. I often fulfill this habit by checking every discussion post and it is always interesting and meaningful.

Openness

This habit is also one of the most important among all. In these three weeks, I developed my openness by get in touch with different videos, articles, and films.

Engagement

As a college student, engagement in class learning is necessary. I personally engaged not very active. But attending zoom meeting and contacting classmates after class is what I did and will continue to do in the future.

Persistence

I don’t think I’ve developed this habit yet since it’s just the third week. However, I should keep doing my job until the end of the class. I think persistence is about not giving up regardless how big of small a task is. Therefore, to develop this habit, I shall turn in every assignment on time and be passionate about my work.

Flexibility

I do think I am a flexible person. I am willing to accept any change and demands any time. For example, in this class, webpage and podcast are something that I never did before. It turns out that I learnt so quickly and I will keep accepting any challenge ahead.

Responsibility

So far, I am responsible for my own work. Overall, I did my assignments in time and followed the instruction of the professor. In the coming weeks, I would also take responsibility on my group and work with the group project carefully.

Metacognition

Reflection is something I wish to develop in the rest of this quarter. Proofreading and reviewing my own works as well as others would help me to develop this habit.
