What is a student?
Imagine that you have been asked to draw a cartoon of the ideal GCU student. What would he or she look like? We tried it with a group of new students last year, and they suggested:
- Focused (big eyes, glasses)
- Considerate (thoughtful expression, big brain or head)
- Organised, planned (carrying laptop or timetable)
- Fit and healthy (carrying fruit, water, wearing trainers or sportswear)
- Responsible (broad shoulders)
- Punctual (wristwatch)
- Caring (big heart)
- Flexible (juggling, bendy limbs)
- Polite (smiling)
Could this be you? Are there other qualities that you think a good student should have? It may be worth taking some time to think about how you should look as a GCU student. One of they key qualities in our list is planning and organisation. The SMILE module on organising your time can help you cope - why not have a look?
