Failure, or even perceived failure, is extremely hard to work through in college. At this point, you may have preceived some, or even most, of your college educational experience as a failure. Your grades (and now GPA) slipped, you may have lost scholarship or grant money support, you had to leave the University for a period of time, and some or all of those are hard to swallow. In this module we will discuss failure and how we can embrace this experience to elevate you to where you want to be operating in your academics. This is not an easy topic to cover, so I am encouraging you to go in with an open mind and a willingness to address those previous shortcomings, and look at those as an opportunity for growth and improvement rather than as a letdown.
