DESCRIPTION
On the first day of USTD 1101: Strategies of Learning, an 8 week college course designed to help students on academic probation obtain successful learning habits, I asked these 19 students to write for about 5 minutes on their thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about being on probation and having to take this course. I then asked them to draw a picture that reflected in some way what they had written.

First Day ReflectionsOn the first day of USTD 1101: Strategies of Learning, an 8 week college course designed to help students on academic probation obtain successful learning habits, I asked these 19 students to write for about 5 minutes on their thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about being on probation and having to take this course.
I then asked them to draw a picture that reflected in some way what they had written.
Here in what follows are some of those drawings. I’d be interested in hearing how you would interpret these drawings.
Time which we don’t have
Sad when I found outI was onAcademicsuspension.
Mad whenI thought aboutlast semesterand how I wastedmoney and time
Smirkedwhen I thoughtabout getting another chance
Excited howthat I’menrolled and ready to giveit my all
