Half-way Reflection


1) Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course?

Some of the behaviors I have used to keep up with the requirements of this course are, making sure I log on to canvas every day to keep up with deadlines, and also setting a specific time I work on this class and this class only. Doing these few things definitely has helped me stay on top of deadlines and allow me to usually submit my work head of time.

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 will have to say, achieving this degree is a very important goal of mine, so I haven’t really had any thoughts of giving up just yet. Especially in this class, because the assignments are fun and unique. If I ever had the feeling of “giving up” though, I would just stop and think of all the rewards that will come once I am done.

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'?

My three tips would be:

Make sure you check canvas every day, since there is usually four to five assignments due a week.

Make sure you always share before you declare and actually due the assignment completely before you even submit it.

Make sure you have fun doing the assignments!

  1. Hello-
    I agree very much. I found that our answers were actually quite similar. I really do think logging onto canvas everyday is a major key to success in this class because it is so easy to forget the due date. Also, I like the tips you gave! Always share before you declare. Great post, keep up the good work.

  2. Yo Will. Yeah I agree with Rachel that our answers are definitely very much alike. The hardest part for me was to keep checking canvas everyday because it is not something I was used to. Also, I agree that finding some way for the assignment to be fun is important not just in this class, but in all work that you do. Here's my blog http://joebestblog.blogspot.com/
