The Most Valuable Assignment for
the First Assignment in the First
Week of the First Course by David P. Byers, Ph.D
The term "Buyer's Remorse" typically applies
to the retail industry and expensive purchases,
such as a home or a car. However, it also
applies to students who just started taking
courses specific to their degrees, such as in
the first course of a cohort. Learning what
cognitive dissonance (aka buyer's remorse) is
can be part of the most valuable assignment
at the start of the student's degree studies.
Attendees learn what the assignment is and
how to use it for the sake of their new
students.
