What is an intellectual risk? Don't get me wrong - I think I take them - I am just not sure how to define them. Anyway, as along as I feel comfortable with the people around me - and I do - I will try anything. My main priority to taking risks is, of course, not fearing failure - which I don't - and being able to ask a lot of questions - which I do.
As for class participation, I am generally eager to do so. I love to try new things. I love to talk about learning because I love to learn. I really find it invigorating - even if that sounds like bologna - I really do. And I have no problem asking questions or offering suggestions or opinions. However, I may be a little hesitant to answer a question if there's a definite right or wrong answer concerning a topic I'm totally new to. I am a procrastinator by nature. But, I do have a lot of reason to be distracted right now. So, I will try to be more on top of turning things in on time, though I admit, I will often wait until the last minute to do them. As for self-assessments, I am extremely self-depricating. I have no problem admiting weaknesses -because I don't mind them. I simply decide how much time and effort I will put into turning them into strengths. I learn by doing - or at least by watching and trying to mimic. I don't like to read instructions, but I love asking questions. I love one on one time with a teacher - I have always liked that immediate connection.
