Reflect on the role of emotional intelligence at different points during your academic journey, using the following prompts to guide your reflection.
Self-regulation can help our EQ: we can create a plan for how we might manage our emotions and learn from what we try. Can you think of a situation in a course where using emotional intelligence could benefit you?
Exercising our EQ makes us stronger collaborators. We can read and react to social cues indicating a teammate’s emotional state and manage our own frustration or confusion. Can you think of an interaction with another person where you or your collaborator could have benefitted from practicing or growing your EQ?
