Growth Mindset: Thoughts from the Padlet

"When we get negative feedback, let's take it in stride."
"R-Rejoice
U-Under
N-Negativity"

These are quotes about how to response to negative feedback. I often struggle with negative feedback. Maybe I'll dismiss it as wrong or dismiss it as unimportant. But I like this response better, and I think it will open new perspectives and ways of editing/creating. I want to train my brain to run with critical feedback, so the work I do in the future is better for it.


"I was so focused on not failing that I almost missed the whole point of school. To learn."

I really like this quote because I think it is easy to go through the motions in school. In one of my classes, we have two journal entries. The first is to summarize our readings and the second is to interact with the readings somehow. This can be applying the theory to something happening in the world or connect it to past readings. It is easy to just go through the motions in this assignment, especially if you are rushing. However, when I do it because I want to explore a topic and expand my knowledge or think critically, I am better for it. It is easy to forget that learning is fun!

Introduction to a Future Health Professional

Image
Hellloooo everyone, my name is Karissa Hughes, and here is a little bit about me. I have twin, who I live with and also goes to OU; the nature of our relationship is loving annoyance. Although I do not have a cat, my roommate does, and I'm already obsessed with him and his little socks. His name is Boomer, and sometimes I accidentally call him Sooner. My major is Health, Medicine, and Society. It is multidisciplinary, which I appreciate because I like learning from different perspectives, and is geared towards pre-Medicine students. I have already completed all of the pre-Med prerequisites, but I'm still not exactly sure if I want to go to medical school. I recently learned more about the field of Public Health and have become interested in possibly pursuing a career in that instead. Health has become my passion, especially learning more about the social aspects of health, how various identities affect health experiences, and the reasons behind and consequences of health

Week 10 Story: The Jewelry Soothsayer

Image
There once was an ambitious, talented woman, named Gamze, who recently lost her job working as a jewelry appraiser. She was fired because they suspected her of theft; she hated discovering her colleagues' mistrust of and prejudice against Turkish people. Gamze was cast as a soothsayer, a trickster, a thief in their imagination, dismissing her dedication to her work and willingness to help others. She had a husband, named Alperan, who was stuck - stuck between 40 and 50 years and caught between multiple jobs. Gamze wanted more from their life, and she knew that she would be the one to raise the status of their family. Gamze looked for other jobs but this reputation followed her to job interviews. She wondered how they could suspect her; if she had stolen the diamond and sapphire ring, she would not be subjecting herself to interviews with old white men. One evening, a previous client, Benan, called Gamze to see if she had appraised a stolen necklace in the last few days. Gamze k
