Reflect-a-palooza

Take time to reflect

Reflection on your insights from your Talk to a Terp and Shadow a Terp experiences. Try out the variety of reflection tools and frameworks below to make sense of your experience(s). We encourage you to try out a few different tools to help you uncover key learnings and insights.

We'd love to hear about your a-ha! moments from all of this. Our a-ha! moments led us to these questions: 

  • How might we help students "test drive" different majors before deciding? 
  • How might we empower students to not sit in quiet confusion, and instead take up space in class/office hours asking questions?
  • How might we help students see creativity in the non-academic activities they do?
