1) A behavior that I have developed to keep up with the requirements of this course is looking at the assignments ahead of time so I am mentally prepared for what the assignments will require me to do.
2) I’ve definitely had many moments during this course where I wanted to give up and not do certain assignments, but what pulled me through was the incentive to lose as few point as possible for the sake of my grade in this course. Plus a couple of the assignments are actually helpful in developing my business plans. So, the fact that ill actually be able to take something away from this class is great. I honestly cant say that about any other college class I’ve take in the past.
3) Three tips I would have is first, work ahead. Second, keep in mind the big picture. This class can actually help you create some financial dignity. Third, really read people’s feedback. This can actually help you.
Hi Vanasia,
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing; looking ahead is helpful. Unfortunately, this week was busy for me, and I completely thought today was Thursday, it isn't, it is Friday, and I missed one blog deadline! Frustrating, but it goes to show I need to work harder on giving attention to detail. I agree with you that some of the assignments have helped develop new views and thought processes that are valuable to know. I like your three tips, I didn't include read peer feedback in mine, but I wish I did. Your (all peers) feedback has helped guide a new thought or idea.
Hey Vanasia,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate how simply and succinctly you express yourself. Considering the bigger picture is a great tip for an incoming student. Going through each assignment as a learning experience instead of a bunch of busy work, like in other classes, is good motivation to actually put the required time and effort into the work. Also I rarely read feedback, so that last tip is something I will personally take into account. Thanks.
Hi Vanasia,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you mentioned to read peoples feedback. Sometimes it's hard to take criticism without taking it personally, but we are all in the same boat and have the same goal - to finish school. Personally, I'm not the best at reading my feedback just because it's something else that I would have to do but I will try to do better in the future.
