In the past I have always had a hard time getting motivated to do my school work. It was always so boring and I would always find some excuse not to do it, so this week for the Motivational strategy I decided to use Academic Fears. I used this strategy in my SOC/WGS 248 because there is a lot of reading and in my MAT 121 for my exams. I chose to use this strategy because I have always had a hard time getting motivated to read things for school and I have always had a hard time study for exams. So what you to for Academic Fears is you make a chart with four different columns. In the first columns you list three academic fears for each class and then rank them. In the second column you write down the Worst Outcome, which is just describing the absolute worst thing that can happen in that situation. In the third column you write down the Best Outcome that can come out of that situation. Then the fourth column would be the Action Needed to make the best scenario happen. The best thing that came out of using this strategy is that it showed me what will happen if I do or don’t do an assignment. Seeing what could happen if I don’t do these assignment motivates me to do them. Since I have been using this strategy I have noticed a big change in the way that I prepare myself for doing my assignments.

The charts you made are really specific and detailed! Good job with these strategies and you picked good classes to do them in!
