Week 2 Cap -How we think and learn, and how we can improve

Week 2 Cap

This week’s materials provide perspectives about how we think and learn, and how we can improve our problem-solving abilities and overall performance. In our educational journeys, there have been times when we struggled; there are other times when we were “in the zone” and learning felt effortless. Obviously we would prefer to be “ in the zone” all the time, but we can only attain higher levels when we have done our work in the “learning zone”, as Eduardo Briceno describes in his TED talk. Describe a time when you struggled with a course or a project to the point where you had to “reset” your direction and strategy. What kind of deliberate practices did you employ? How did you spend time in the “learning zone” to improve in your “performance zone” as Briton describes. Please share your experience here.
