Matt Harris' Academic Fears


For this weeks blog I choose to write about Academic Fears. I choose this topic because I felt that if I could write all these down on paper, I could visually see what I needed to fix and what would happen if i didn't fix them. I'm also a visual and kinesthetic learner so it lays out a table of my fears and what I can do to never get to that point. It's a really good strategy because it kinda shows your future if you take the certain steps your not supposed to take and I like that about this strategy. It also shows the actions I can take to prevent and help me get through the troubles of the difficult weeks of school. It's a really good motivator as well to not do the things I want to do sometimes, because I can look at it every time I want to do something crappy, and it will remind me to stay on track. I choose to pick my number one fear as exams. I did this because first, its my number one fear, and second, because in all my classes I'm being evaluated on exams. This chart can help me stay on the track of success!! I choose to do this strategy with pretty much all of my classes! Just because I think it benefits every single one of them.

  2. Nice post Matt! My biggest fear is taking exams as well. But I think if you continue using all the techniques that we learned so far, it should help you be better prepared for the exam.
