PUT / GET YOUR THINKING CAP ON Education at University is designed to prepare young people to become useful members of society, developing strong friendships that will possibly continue throughout their whole lives, and gaining sufficient skills and awareness so that they prepare themselves for gainful employment.
Adapting to University life involves engaging your mind. Students need to figure out how to solve problems sometimes by themselves so everyone let’s put our thinking caps on! Yesterday one of my students mentioned how she was learning to become more independent since attending University. Her parents had done many things for her but now she needed to take care of herself. Also in the past as a student at school she would learn from the teacher by carefully copying and memorizing. She was discovering that creativity and independent thinking are highly valued at the University so she was putting on her critical thinking cap. Her suggestion on how to adapt to University life was that she needed to manage her time better and allow herself not to drift along. During the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival she planned to ask her mother for advice on how to make a study schedule for the second semester.
