Academic Fear

The strategy I chose to use for this week blog post is Academic Fears. This was a good strategy for me to use because it helps first acknowledge my fears and then I can overcome any fear I have using this strategy.The way the strategy help me because the format of it lays out everything you need to do in columns starting with your academic fears, worst outcome, best outcome, and actions needed.
My academic fears are not getting a high enough GPA to be eligible to declare for the major i want. Another fear that i have taking Quizzes/test/exams. I am not a good test taker so when coming into taking a test I already don't have the best confidence with me because of past history I had with bad test scores. In order for me to over come my academic fears are to go look at the strategy to know what actions are needed for me to get the best outcome.
I used this strategy for all of my classes except my sociology class because we do not have any tests/exams in the class. This chart is great reminder of what you are trying to accomplish and overcome and it lays out what will happen if you don't take the actions needed to overcome, so that keeps me motivated.
