The failed midterm
You are a second-year university student.
You studied harder for this biochemistry midterm than for any exam before, and you failed it. Your study partners all passed. The final is worth 50 percent and you are starting to wonder whether you belong in the program.
The two questions
- 1What would you do over the next week?
- 2Describe a significant setback you faced. How did you recover, and what did you change?
What raters look for
- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
