An Introduction to Grit A Key to Academic Performance

An Introduction to Grit A Key to Academic Performance Improving Academic Performance Over the past five years, I’ve done a fair amount of secondary research (reading articles, books, etc.) on academic performance. Two of the most interesting and actionable discoveries I’ve made are that A) a student’s mindset is far more important in explaining academic success than I would have imagined and B) a concept called Grit is what seems to power the performance of a student with the right mindset. The “Growth Mindset” is a concept invented by Dr. Carol Dweck, a Standford Psychologist. Her research shows that individuals can generally be placed into one of two buckets: a) those that have a growth mindset and b) those that have a fixed mindset. Here, briefly, are the key differences between the two mindsets. If you have a fixed mindset, you believe your intelligence, for example, is a “fixed’ trait that you inherit. You can “make the best of it” of course, but you’ll be “capped” at performing at a certain level, because you just don’t have the genes or intellectual horse power to succeed in certain academic situations. If you have a growth mindset, however, you believe your intelligence is something you build over time. Instead of thinking about your intellect as an inherited trait, you view it as a muscle that grows the more you use it (i.e., study, take difficult courses, etc.). An individual’s mindset might shift when considering academic performance, personality traits, or athletic ability. One might have a fixed mindset in some areas, and a growth mindset in others. For example, you might think you are shy because it’s just your personality, but be more growth oriented when it comes to intelligence or learning new athletic skills. All else equal, Dweck has shown that individuals with a growth mindset outperform those with a fixed mindset in an academic setting. The reason for this is, in some ways, very simple and intuitive. Most people would probably not argue that success in school comes from a mix of “IQ” and effort. You can make up for lower innate intellectual horsepower by working hard. In fact, there’s even research which suggests that intellectual horsepower itself is not as “fixed” as most people believe. For example, increased levels of education have been shown to improve IQ scores, and getting the right amount of sleep and eating right has been shown to improve cognitive function. So, if you have a Growth Mindset when it comes to academic performance, you’ll be better off. In part, this is simply because with more hard work, you’ll improve and learn more. But what is it exactly that drives the growth mindset-oriented individual when the task at hand is particularly difficult? To perform well in school, you must put forth a lot of effort, solve problems, pay attention, ask question, work with classmates and teachers, etc. A mindset sets the stage for success, but how is that mindset actually implemented? In Grit: The Power Of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth suggests a combination of passion and perseverance - or, as she calls it, Grit, explains why some people are successful, and other people are not. . What is Grit? To make it through West Point at the United States Military Academy, one must survive the Beast Barracks â€" a training program designed to filter out those without the mental and physical stamina to succeed. During the admissions process, West Point calculates the Whole Candidate Score; a combination of SAT scores, high school rank, appraisals of leadership potential, and physical fitness measures. It is designed to find the people who will succeed. Remarkably, Duckworth found that the Whole Candidate score didn’t predict who made it through Beast Barracks. Actually, those with the highest Whole Candidate Scores were just as likely to drop out as the those with the lowest. What did predict success in Beast Barracks, however, was a score on what Duckworth calls the “Grit Scale.” According to Duckworth, people who are relatively “gritty” are resilient, work very hard, and know on a very “deep” level what they want to achieve. Her “grit score” measures those factors. Duckworth has found that, in almost any domain, the grittier you are, the more successful you will be. Why? Because you simply keep practicing, keep learning, and keep trying different approaches until you succeed. In an academic context, I have come to believe that students place far less importance on focused effort than they should. Students incorrectly assume that a certain innate “talent” for a subject is required to succeed at what they consider “advanced” courses, when in fact it’s the Grit to engage in sustained practice that matters. For example, do you think getting a PhD in Physics requires a certain innate talent or IQ level? If you do, you are probably wrong. In fact, it is probably grit, not IQ, that explains why one person obtains a PhD in Physics while another does not, even though they’d like to. This might not seem intuitive, because after all, getting a PhD in Physics requires mastery of some extremely complicated concepts, but let me explain. Students seem to observe the best student in class easily answer questions, or the teacher, graduate teaching assistant, or professor breeze through discussions of complicated subjects, and assume there must be some natural ability that underlies their knowledge. What they don’t see is all of the time spent practicing and studying, likely in a very deliberate way. It’s practice, not innate talent, that almost always explains knowledge and understanding of a subject. And, the gritty person is more likely to practice more and stick with difficult concepts until they fully understand them. Now, I’ll grant you, if you are going to earn a PhD in Physics from Harvard or certainly if you are going to earn a Nobel Prize in Physics, your IQ is probably going to matter. But even then, there is no Physics “gene.” Your effort and your work ethic combine to explain your performance. For an interesting exploration of these ideas, read this article by Cal Newport, a Computer Science Professor at Georgetown University, who was asked “To what extent does intelligence matter in college success?” Newport begins his response by saying “I don’t believe that intrinsic intelligence plays any significant role at the college level.” Read the full blog article about why intrinsic intelligence doesn’t drive academic success here. In my next post about grit, I’ll cover why effort matters twice, and discuss some ways to become grittier

6 Tips For Working Your First Part Time Job Via (Flickr) Lets say youve landed the job. Now, here are some tips to be the best employee your company has ever seen while not falling behind on your schoolwork, and what to expect from the work field. Strategy is your ultimate goal. Your first part-time job will teach you what it means when people say, Every second counts. Time management will be a skill that will benefit you both in the short and long term. Plan a schedule of your day, week, and month. Keep your planner updated so you dont forget a homework assignment or work meeting. Color coding is a great way to keep your agenda organized. You may want to mark things down in pencil since a multi-tasking semester tends to be full of tentative plans. Start your day off right with brain food. Making sure you start your day off right can do wonders for you. If your job is in the morning, make sure to prepare a healthy meal that will wake you up and boost your energy to get to the office with a positive, ready-to-work attitude. If eggs every morning do not sound appealing to you (to who, really?),  these 21 recipes will help or inspire you for a quick, healthy fix. If you attend classes during the day and work late hours, make sure to have a meal or snack before going into work. Your body will have tackled a big part of your day, and your brain will want a break. Boost your energy and productivity levels by drinking lots of water instead of caffeinated drinks or increasing your heart rate with some jumping jacks. Dress to impress. Via (Oscar Falk) It couple Olivia Palermo and  Johannes Huebl are some serious business casual inspiration. Your image defines who you are. You represent the brand you work for now, and dressing well communicates your personality and confidence. My go-to idol is the lovely and trendy Lauren Conrad. Her expertise on style and fashion not to mention, her clothing lines give women a respectful and chic example that works well in all types of environments.

Here are other questions you might have and how to ask them. Stick it out. Via (Flickr) While no one likes being stuck with a boring job, it is better to try your best and excel than quitting when the going gets tough. Most employees find that their work becomes stagnant after a while, so come up with small ways to excite your shift. As a waitress, I liked to ask people what their day or weekend plans were. It may seem like an intrusive question, but many people actually appreciated the sociable and casual conversation. Many interviewers ask about a challenge youve had and how you overcame it. A persons first part-time job is one of the best examples of a challenge. It shows your interviewer that youve learned about commitment and perseverance. These are just some tips on how to be successful at your first part-time job. You shouldnt have to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Find what works for you, your grades, and your occupation. Make sure to prepare for a healthy, stylish, and above all productive work day.

Facts You didn`t Know about Columbus Day

Facts You didn`t Know about Columbus Day Columbus Day is a holiday, which is dedicated to the occasion of Christopher Columbus` discovery of the New World of the Americas. Now it is celebrated on the second Monday of October. In 2016  we celebrate it on the 10th so we get another three day weekend. Yeah! And a  little bit of history. The explorer from Italia intended to blueprint a sea way westward to China, India and Asia. Without suspecting, he intruded in the Bahamas and became the first European man, who explored the Americas. After some time, Columbus descried Cuba and assumed it to be China; in winter the expedition discovered Hispaniola, and supposed that it was Japan. There, he settled first Spanish colony in the Americas. Columbus traversed the Atlantic Ocean several more times before the end of his life. Only after his third journey, he got to know that he actually didn’t access Asia but instead he uncovered a mainland, which formerly was unexplored by Europeans. For the first time Columbus Day was celebrated in 1792 in New York. Thereat was held a big holiday to commemorate 300th anniversary of a historic landing. The first state that discerned Columbus Day in 1905 was Colorado. In the next twenty years other states continued this tradition. In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt announced every October 12 as Columbus Day. Since 1971, people started celebrating this holiday  on the second Monday in October. Today in the United States it’s a tradition to hold parades, banquets and dances. Teachers, writers and politicians take advantage of Columbus Day and teach patriotic ideas. Majority of states celebrate Columbus Day as a federal holiday, nevertheless many denote it as a Day of Observance or and at least five do not admit it at all. To learn more about Columbus and his expeditions contact our History and Geography tutors, who will help you uncover the mystery of the Age of Discovery.

Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam - by TutorNerds

Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam - by TutorNerds Ask a Nerd! Question: Do I have to take an AP class in order to take the AP exam Brief: The simple answer is no, but there are some things that you should think about and discuss with your Irvine private academic tutor before making that choice. Answer No, you do not have to take an AP class in order to take the AP exam. But should you? The AP exams are college level courses so, taking the AP exam without taking the class would be like showing up at college two years early on the day of the final exam and keeping your fingers crossed. Of course, there are some situations when this may be your only option but you still want a shot at doing well on these exams. For example, if your school doesn’t offer the AP course that you wish to take or if you attend a school that doesn’t offer them at all (READ: Last Minute AP Exam Study Guide). If you find yourself in a position where the only way you can take the AP exam is without taking the AP course, I recommend the following plan of action: 1. Examine your motivations for taking the AP test without the course. If you absolutely LOVE the subject or if you must take this exam to apply to a certain university program, then by all means go ahead. But, if you just don’t feel like taking the course, think about the advantage that your classmates who did take the course will have on exam day (READ: The Students Guide to Study Breaks). 2. Order a test prep study book for the test you are taking as well as the full length text book for the course and get started right away. 3. Have an Orange County in-home tutor who specializes in that particular AP course help you make a plan of action for your studies as well as help explain new and challenging topics. 4. Stick to your plan of action schedule. If most students, who are taking the course, are studying six hours a week at home and are in class for five hours a week, then you should be studying a total of 11 hours per week as well. 5. Take several practice tests and self grade them. Determine patterns of error and get help from a specialist for the areas that you need to improve. On the other hand, if you want to take the European history AP exam and your school offers AP Euro, then I highly recommend that you take the full course -as well as consider one of our Irvine history tutors . There is so much to be gained from taking the course and you will have a much better chance of getting a score of 3, 4 or 5 on test day. Of course, there are exceptions. If you are bilingual English/Spanish and you want to take the AP Spanish exam, then you may do just fine taking the exam without taking the course. Make sure that you do your research though. There is a cultural component to this exam so you will still have to study, learn and fully comprehend the cultural aspect of this exam (CLICK: Additional Information on AP Exams). Bottom line: If the course is offered, it’s best to take it 99% of the time. If it’s not offered, giving yourself a shot at AP success requires hard work, planning, and probably quite a bit of help from a specialist. Have a question for one of our nerds?

Wave Definition Chemistry - Learn About Wave Equations

Wave Definition Chemistry - Learn About Wave EquationsWhen you want to learn about wave definition chemistry, you need to understand a little bit about the wave equations. The wave equations are ones that describe how waves move in water, but they also describe the properties of other liquids that are important for the study of waves.So, when you first start to learn about wave equations, you will probably not have much of an idea about what they mean. That is because the wave equation has many different parameters that you can work with. These include the displacement of the water, the velocity, and the surface tension.To start learning about the wave equation, you first need to know that the velocity of the waves is determined by the velocity of the liquid. The velocity of the waves depends on the length of the wave. That means that when the wave moves from one place to another, it takes some time to get there. The longer the wave, the more time it takes for it to travel.The displa cement of the waves is then measured in units of height, called feet. You may also notice that the displacement of the waves depends on the speed of the liquid. The faster the liquid is moving, the bigger the displacement will be.So, at this point, you now know enough to understand the wave equation, but you still need to know more. To learn more about the wave equation, you can work with the wave equation in the plane and at a surface. Once you have learned all that you need to know about the wave equation, you will be ready to move on to more complicated formulas for the different types of waves.When you learn about the wave equation, you will also be able to apply it to the problem of fluid dynamics. You will learn about fluid flow, the formation of different types of waves, and how they can change the amount of water you can put in a container. Then, you will also learn how waves are formed, how they move through the water, and how they interact with the other waves.Now that you have a better understanding of the wave equation, you can use it to find the forces on the different objects that can affect the amount of water you can put into a container. You can also find out more about how the waves are formed and interact with each other. This will help you in your math class and in any science class you take.
