Self-Noticing Student Reflections

Part 1

The following activity aims to promote your self-awareness and self-management and is split into three parts. To get the most out of these reflections, please be honest and nonjudgmental. Submit your responses to each part before exiting this window or quitting your browser. You must submit each part before proceeding to the next one. Once submitted, entries are locked. It is recommended that you discuss the follow-up activity with your instructor before completing it (typically completed 4–6 weeks later).

Students who explicitly name their inner obstacles and desired outcomes are significantly more likely to close the gap between who they are and who they want to be. These reflections are grounded in that research.

You're previewing the student experience. Your responses won't be saved.

Thinking back to your past experiences as a student, how much of your full potential have you brought to your classes? (0–100)

What were the main inner obstacles (for example, thoughts, feelings, wants, assumptions, beliefs, self-understandings, fears, desires, and ways you talk to yourself) that prevented your potential from manifesting itself?

What were the external obstacles (for example, other people, activities, technologies) that impeded you from reaching your full potential?

Deeply thinking about what you hope to get out of school. What are the most important and valuable outcomes you want to achieve in your classes? In other words, ideally, how would you develop and change over the course of the semester?

Why are these outcomes important to you?

Who do you need to be?

How do you need to think?

What attitude do you need to possess?

What actions do you need to consistently engage in?

How do you need to interact with your classmates?

How do you need your classmates to interact with you?

What do you need to be on the lookout for that might inhibit your outcomes from being realized? These can be both inside (thoughts, feelings, wants, assumptions, beliefs, self-understandings, and ways you talk to yourself) and outside of you (all the things in your life that compete for your time and attention). In other words, what competes for your attention and time?

What do you have to say "no" to?

What actions, techniques, plans, or structures can you implement to improve your time management to create time to fully engage in your work for this class to maximize your learning and development?

What can you do when things get hard? What things will keep you actively pursuing your goals?
