What differentiates you from your classmates and faculty? How do you anticipate that these differences will affect your college experience?
What will be an ideal response?
For many students, higher education is the first time they are exposed to others who are different from them relative to the demographic in which they grew up. Identifying differences may help students sort out roommate issues, reasons why they may be struggling in a class or why they might face challenges doing group projects or papers with other students. This question aims at having students re-explore their self-concept similar to what they were asked to do in Chapter Two. Have students look back on how they defined their academic self-concept. Now have them "re-examine" who they are through the lens of diversity and what they have learned in this chapter.
