1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?
For this course I've learned to look ahead. Some assignments take a couple hours, whereas some are really quick. In order to know when I'm going to do each assignment, I look at the assignment ahead of time and depending on the difficulty, I set a schedule for myself and when I'm going to do it. Also, for the Cupcakes I've learned to take notes on the information I think would be most important on the test.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
I've wanted to give up before and instead just sleep or go out, but then I just think to myself about what is more important, spending a hour or two on homework or wasting my time doing something unproductive. I feel like this course has allowed me to put things into perspective more.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
1. Make a schedule for yourself and stick to it.
2. Know what you can and cannot do, and base your workload off of that.
3. Join the GroupMe, help and get help from others!
I can relate to preparing a schedule for yourself and looking ahead. This class has taught me to manage my assignments and always look to the next due date. I also sometimes have to weigh out the options in front on myself on whether I should be productive or unproductive. I really liked your tips especially the group me one because that has helped me alot!
ReplyDeleteIn order to succeed in this course, looking ahead on assignments and gauging how much time is needed to complete each is essential. I can relate with you on that because I tend to plan everything out for the week ahead of time and rank things in order of importance on when they should be completed.
