What is the goal or purpose of this assignment?
The goal of this assignment is threefold:
a) for you to show an understanding of the Lizzio “senses” as a possible useful framework for thinking about your academic success,
b) for you to apply the framework to your own situation and identify which Lizzio “sense” is your strongest one and which one is the one you most need to develop
c) for you to identify one resource that can help you strengthen the sense that is most problematic for you right now --- see suggestions with links below.
Content
Paragraph 1 : Self assessment using the Lizzio five senses
In this paragraph, explain the 1-2 “senses” identified by Lizzio that are well-developed in your case. Provide evidence by giving an example of an action/incident that shows you having strength in this “sense”. Then identify your weakest sense and give 1-2 examples of actions taken (or not taken) that illustrate why you think this sense is not well-developed in you. Do you find Lizzio’s framework useful for thinking about success in university? Is there anything missing from Lizzio’s 5 senses that you would add?
 Paragraph 2 : Getting Specific: Developing a plan for success
Your goal for this year is to raise your GPA. In this paragraph, please indicate your current GPA and try to estimate what grades you will need to earn in your next 24 credits to bring your GPA back up to at least 4.0. Then make this goal more specific by thinking about steps that you will need to take to go about doing that. Return to paragraph 1 and restate your weakest “sense”. What immediate steps can you take to strengthen this sense (e.g. if your weakest sense is connection and a feeling of belonging, you might consider finding a club to join, going to a club meeting, or pushing beyond your comfort zone to meet new people)
Paragraph 3 Identification of resources that can assist with developing your weakest “sense”
The goal here is for you to identify one resource that is potentially of use to you to strengthen the sense that is most problematic for you. You may use one of the resources explored during this week’s tutorial, or you may wish to delve into another of the resources listed below. Be sure to explain why you think this resource can help you and how you intend to use it.

FND 1000 3.00: Reminder re Attendance and policy re late submissions
Attendance at lectures and tutorials in FND 1000 is essential for re-launching you successfully on your academic journey. If you miss a lecture, you are required to listen to the lecture recording which will be posted on the course Moodle site. If you miss a tutorial, you are also required to contact your tutorial leader so that you understand the content covered as well as the details of the next assignment, which will be due the following week by your tutorial time. Details of the 12 assignments (1 per week) will be posted on the course Moodle site and all assignments will be submitted via the Moodle site.
Timely submission of the assignments (a total of 12) will be crucially important for the rhythm of feedback and for developing your academic skills and self-regulation strategies. The first 6 assignments are weighted more heavily (10 pts each) and the remaining 6 will be shorter and weighted at 5 pts each--- because we anticipate that work in your other courses will increase as the term progresses. There will be 12 pts allocated to attendance at lectures and tutorials. To obtain a note of PASS in this course, you need to accumulate a minimum of 60 pts.
Once during this Fall 2019 term you may use a “Late permission” to extend the deadline for an assignment by 48 hours. After 48 hours, unless there are circumstances of illness or other serious impediment, the assignment cannot be accepted. Remember that the FND assignments are not major essays—rather they are short, very doable assignments to keep you focused and to prompt you to apply the techniques and strategies presented during the lectures and tutorials in this course.
