Personalized Brain Power
Your intelligence is not fixed. You have the power to improve and enhance your mental powers. For this final project, you will create your own personalized cognitive plan to maximize your brain's power. This plan will include caring for and challenging your brain while reducing stress, as well as strategies for significant learning and self-directed learning breaks.
Use all of your knowledge from the course and from what you have discovered about yourself: how the brain works, Growth Mindset, grit, mental challenges, assessment of your study skills, reflections on your fears and strengths, attention and focus, evaluation of "brain improvement" products, stress reduction and joy breaks. You will be gathering nearly all of the content for this project in our activities and discussions, journals and assignments. Use this information to produce your plan.
The components of your Personalized Brain Power plan are:
