If they believe me...The power of talkingThe Physics Department of San Jose State University was proud to have a class of Physics for rookies so difficult that usually 50% of the students are reproved or give up. In one semester, a teacher decided to do an experiment. In the first of two identical classes, he affirmed during his opening lecture that 50% of the students would be reproved or would give up. In your second class, he affirmed that the reproof normal rate was 50%, but, when examining the historical of the students, he was surprised to see that everyone in this class had an exceptional ability in mathematical and science. You probably can guess the results. In the first class, 50% of the students gave up or were reproved. In the second class, all students passed with C grade or superior. The point that interests in this history is just that the perceptions actually become reality.
