Question

Cyndi is nearing the end of her program and is enrolled in her final Capstone course. She has received mostly B’s in her classes but has paid little attention to the feedback that she has been given. She is working on her final portfolio which requires her to reflect on all of the coursework she has taken over the past three years. She is confident that she can complete this portfolio project over a single weekend. She gathers her papers from her old courses and assembles them in an online notebook and submits to her professor. She is shocked when she receives an "F" on her portfolio because of a lack of critical reflection and failure to follow directions. Cyndi’s learning patterns: (S21, P33, TR31, C29) Cyndi paid little attention to feedback in her past classes, but feels confident she can reflect on all her coursework to complete the final project over one weekend. Considering her Learning Patterns, what contributed to this mindset?

Answer 1

Overconfidence in her ability to complete the project over a single weekend.

Lack of reflection on the feedback given on previous assignments.

Failure to follow directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

All learners have a special combination of the learning patterns (sequential pattern, precise pattern, technical reasoning, and confluent pattern). This indicates that these 4 patterns are present in every person at some level. Cyndi has failed in all these patterns to some extent and thus did not achieve her expected results.
