Alexa has a fixed mindset.
Alexa is a first-year university student taking a challenging science course. She initially felt confident but failed her first lab practical, which knocked her confidence. She now rarely participates in class discussions, avoids asking questions, and spends less time studying for the module. When she does study, she focuses on memorising facts rather than understanding the concepts. She compares herself negatively to her classmates, assuming they are naturally smarter. She thinks, "If I wasn't good at science in high school, I'll never be good at it in university."
