FYS 1270 - Beyond Social Media: Discovering Your Pathway and SuccessCredits: 4
It’s all too common for everyone to compare themselves to the “highlight reel” on TikTok or Instagram when it’s all around us, but what isn’t visible are the forks in the road, failures on the side, and the bad/ugly. Success cannot be achieved without failure, and we’ve always been told/believed that failure is bad. This seminar will introduce learners to identifying and defining their success through skills and outcomes, and strengthening their focus on the learning journey instead of the results. Learners will participate in class discussions around foundational topics on how we learn, motivation, selfawareness, and applying these concepts to their own specific needs and goals in developing important soft-skills for college and beyond. Learners will explore strategies for personal growth through reflection and examine the importance of measuring success through failure. Learners will develop a growth mindset by celebrating acquired skills beyond measurements such as scores, letter grades, and social media comparisons.
