Miami Dade College What Was Your Test Score and How Do You Feel About It Ques

Completing the Questionnaire

1. Open and complete the Positive Thinking Questionnaire by clicking on this link . This is a paper and pencil test, not an electronic one. You can print it and fill it out manually, or you can simply write the question numbers and your answers down on a piece of paper while you read the document on the screen. You do NOT have to submit the Questionnaire so use any method you want.
2. Read the section on the questionnaire that describes how to evaluate your resuts. Also read the section that describes the negative thoughts.

Post Original Discussion

1. Discuss your results in the Positive Thinking Discussion Forum available as a link in this folder or by clicking on the Discussions folder. You will be posting two posts: the first is your “original post.” Original posts are discussion posts you submit with your assigned work for the discussion; the second is your “reply post.” Reply posts are posts you submit responding to other students’ contributions to the discussion.
2. Your discussion should be in narrative format, not in a list, and it should be a discussion, not simple yes, no, or sometimes answers. It must be 200 words or more.
3. Your ORIGINAL POST on the Positive Thinking Questionnaire should include the information listed below. We recommend that you create your discussion in Microsoft Word, spell check it, check the grammar, and when it’s ready, click on “Reply” to the instructor’s originating thread in the forum and paste it into your reply message window, or you can type it into the message window directly. Be careful how you type it. This is not an instant or text message. It’s a college-level writing assignment. Use proper punctuation and capitalization! Both Word and the Blackboard editor window contain spellcheck features so be sure to spellcheck your work. You will be graded on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization in addition to the content. Submit college level work or it will cost you points! You will also be graded on the number of words (quantity) and critical thinking and analysis (quality) of your work and on the inclusion of all the required information. The required information is contained below:

1. 1. What was your test score and how do you feel about it?
   2. Analyze your results and list the possible reframes that you can use to turn around any negative thinking that may apply to you. Support your analysis with research from your reading of the textbook or external sources.
   3. Has completing this exercise changed your ideas about positive thinking, negative thinking, frames and reframing?
   4. Your opinion on this assignment: was the assignment helpful to you?
   5. What did you learn from this assignment and how can you use reframing to improve your attitude?

Post Reply Post

In addition to posting your original discussion, read all the other discussions in the forum and select ONE message that you relate to. You will “reply” to that student by providing him/her with feedback on their ideas. A reply is a message from you in response to another student’s original contribution to the discussion. Replies should add to the other student’s understanding of the topic, or help them by clarifying ideas related to the work in question. A good reply is about 50 words long.
