Self-Discipline

Today in class we are going to discuss self-discipline. As a part of the exercise we will look at the idea of setting goals, and having the self-discipline to stick to a plan which will allow a student to reach his or her goals. I have some great quotes from the astronaut, Al Worden, who I met at the Kennedy Space Center during my recent trip there.

We are also going to try a few arithmetic exercises which should fun. Guess the total score of the OSU Michigan game (add both team's scores), and the one who is closest wins a prize. The second is to find out who would have more money at the end of a month, if one student received $10,000 per day and the other received a penny on day one but doubled the gift each day. Do you know?
