I am especially excited for the reading assignments this semester. I love a good story, and something tells me that I will read a ton good stories this semester. I imagine that the Indian stories I read in this class will be unlike any of the stories I read as a kid. I am ready to dive right in.
The storytelling aspect of this class will really grow me I think. So far, my college career has consisted of mostly science classes in which the creative portion of my mind is not always used. I think I will surprise myself with some of the stories I am able to write.
As far as the extra credit assignments go, I see many great options. The two that spark my interest the most are the Wikipedia trails and the growth mindset assignments. I think an incredible amount of knowledge can be found following the links on Wikipedia. I also know that it is often times easier to learn when you are able to connect ideas. The Wikipedia assignments will help me do that! I am also excited to learn more about the growth mindset and how I can better myself as a human and a learner. There might not be a better way to accomplish that goal this semester than through the growth mindset assignments.
