Hi Amy, thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and motivational post! I particularly loved how you connected your own ADHD and growth mindset experiences to your learning trajectory. It made your observations seem very real and relatable. I also enjoyed your description of behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Especially how you showed how your professor employed all three theories collectively was a good example of how they can work together in the real world. I enjoyed the way you then applied the theories themselves to actual study habits. Your lists make it very easy to adopt the ideas. Your explanation of the ARCS Model was also a really nice thing about your post, and I liked how you wove in relevance and confidence in your own motivation as a student. It was wonderful at illustrating how theory applies in real life. Finally, I loved your conversation about prior knowledge, specifically your comment on not merely adding to what we have in mind but unlearning when necessary. Overall, your blog was nicely structured, engaging, and chock full of information that I can utilize for myself within my own education.
