Last Time • Introductions • DIFD Options • Why DIFD Matters • Success in This Class • Time Management Lecture Homework
ATTEND ASK DO The right questions All classes Your job. Success! In DIFD 151 Being successful in this class TRY Your best always
It’s a Process NOT a Project Creativity is key, and creativity takes trial and error… lots of error. There is no magic set of instructions to make you successful Create FAIL Learn List You will fail. Failure doesn’t mean you’re done. It means you learned something and will try again, and again if needed. Passing a class, doesn’t mean its over. For a DIFD major, the learning is just beginning.
Failure is welcomed here They failed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLYECIjmnQs Steve Jobs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkTf0LmDqKI
