I think this class develops different attributes
than other classes do. This class has multiple assignments due each week and it
is always the same number and type of assignments due. The skill I have improved
on greatly is my time management. I’ve gotten better at planning ahead for
things and meeting deadlines. The thing I like about this class and what helps me
with time management is that all the assignments for the semester are posted
and you can start on them early if you need to. Being able to see all the assignments
allows you to plan accordingly and budget your time so you can finish all the assignments
by the deadline.

There was one moment in this class where I felt
like giving up and not completing a certain assignment. It was during the elevator
pitch week. At first, I was not completely comfortable with recording myself
and pitching my idea. What had pushed me through were the very informative videos
that Dr. Pryor posted to help me get through my fears and see other examples of
elevator pitches. I do feel like I have developed more of a tenacious attitude during
this semester and it has helped me in my other classes as well. I have persevered
through many tough assignments and have learned how to deal with the pressure of
meeting multiple deadlines a week. I think having a lot of assignments that are
all posted can help you build a routine similar to how work will be for some in
the future.

One tip I would offer a next semester student would
be to plan and make a schedule on when and how long you will work on this class
and others. I think planning ahead will relieve much of the stress of having a
lot of assignments. Another tip is to try to start the assignments earlier in
the week because a lot of the assignments are time consuming and can not be
done in one sitting. The last tip I would give is to really try to give good
peer reviews to your classmates. The peer reviews are very beneficial and
taking them seriously will give you a better understanding of the concept because
it forces you to give an alternative point of view.
Hi Isaac! I agree with you that this class has made me better with time management. I also have to plan out my week so that I know how much time I need to devote to this class and all the assignments that go along with it. I also agree with you that a good tip for students taking this class in the future is to start assignments early in the week. I am just now doing this as well.
ReplyDeleteHey Isaac, I agree with your post and how it is a smart idea to plan out the assignments. If you are not on top of your schedule then these assignments can quickly pile up. It is good to see that you have seen self improvement and now have a more tenacious mindset. Time management is very important as well and will help make this class much easier.
ReplyDeleteHello Isaac. I think your reflection is spot on and I agree with the whole thing to be honest. Time management is necessary in today's day and age and I think that people who take time to plan things out are much more successful than those who are "always in a rush." I also think really reading the peer reviews is important because not everyone could share the same view you do.
