© 2010 Wadsworth, Cengage Learning FOCUS TV Discussion Questions 1. Why are you going to college, exactly? Is it to please your family? Because everyone else you know is going to college? Because it’s the obvious “next step”? Or is it because you truly want to become a well-educated person? 2. LIMS sounds like a serious ailment. Have you ever had it? Describe the situation. 3. The chapter and this episode describe “whatever” students. What does “whateverness” look and sound like and what can it do, potentially, to new college students? 4. The chapter discusses the difference between dreams and goals. What are your dreams versus your goals? Is there a difference? 5. How would you know if a friend is a learner or a performer? Are there signals you can recognize?
