Week 1 individual assignment submission
Individual assignment (book 1-2h)
Before starting with these assignments, read thoroughly the material and your notes for this week. Then answer the following questions in a free-form text. The most essential thing for you is to take the time to reflect on the questions on your own part.
- Review this week’s material. Which topics or issues rise as the central ones for you? Crystallize them as the 3-5 most important corner stones of your study wellbeing.
- Write down at least three issues or parts of your life (related for example with studies, work, other projects, hobbies or personal relationships) which excite, inspire or interest you most at the moment. What things do you love to do for it’s own sake; what do you like to use time for? In case nothing feels like exciting at the moment, when was the last time something has excited you, and what was it?
- Write down at least three frustrating, boring or least interesting things in your life at the moment. Think of why you chose specifically them. For example, have you faced assignments which are too easy and cause feelings of boredom, or assignments which are too difficult for your skills and cause feelings of frustration?
- What do your responses to the questions 1-3 tell you of what things and situations motivate you, help you develop and succeed? What can you do for the least interesting things? Can you increase the level of requirements for the easy tasks yourself, to get more challenges? Can you concentrate better on the difficult tasks, to make your actions effective, also to increase your motivation?
- How do you use your time and money at the moment? How would you like to use them? What do these tell you about your values and attractive parts of your life?
- Imagine your future: think of yourself at the end of this course. Your studies have moved to a positive direction. What has changed; what has happened in your study life and studies? What have you done to reach this point?
