#reflectivewriting #studentexperience #collegecourses
Ever tried seeing your course through your students’ eyes? 👀
Before you close the semester, do this quick reflective writing exercise: pretend you’re a student who just finished your course.
Write about:
1. What you enjoyed most
2. How you were transformed (or challenged)
3. The hard + soft skills you actually gained
Why it matters: when you “walk through” your class from a student’s lived experience, you spot what supported them, what stressed them, and what needs to stay vs. change next time. That perspective is gold.
Now… don’t wait until the end of the term. 💛
Make it a weekly practice. Even 10–15 minutes can help you:
✨ get clarity (what’s working / what’s not)
✨ teach with more intention (and less guesswork)
✨ notice patterns sooner (before they become problems)
✨ regulate stress and release the week
✨ reconnect with your “why”
That’s exactly why I created The Mindful Academic Challenge — a FREE 16-week, no-pressure space to build a reflective rhythm over time. It’s called a challenge because reflective practice is needed in higher ed… and also hard to sustain without a simple system + encouragement.
Small weekly blocks are worth every minute — they help you reflect, refresh, reset, and release** consistently.
