2. A moment I felt defeated was scoring badly on my final for the last Business Law exam. I was originally on track to get an 'A' in the course. However, I did not do well on the final, which dropped my grade. What helped get me through was knowing I cannot change the past and should not dwell on it. On the bright side, he offered a nice curve and I ended up with a 'B+' in the course. Overall, I would say I developed a tenacious attitude within the last two months, more in my personal life rather than academically. The experiences that most contribute to this is knowing what and who is healthy for my mental state, and if they or it is not, remove it from my life.
3. First, do not join a GroupMe. GroupMe has caused troubles, and you do not want to get in the mess of it. To grow as a person, I think it is important to do things, like assignments, on your own. It builds character and challenges your mind. Second, learn time management skills. Frequently this class has many assignments, some longer than others, on certain days. You need to have good time management skills in order to complete the assignments. This helps with the tenacious mindset because one you are done with an assignment, you are done. Just sit down and do the lecture or blogs fully. Third, ask questions if you are confused. It is okay to not know. Part of the tenacious attitude is being determined to do something. If you are confused about something like a blog, do not go into it blindly, ask questions on what he wants or means. To gain a better understanding is benefitting you!
Hey Megan,
ReplyDeleteI agree that time management is very important for this class, at the beginning it cost me to stay on track with this online course. I tend to leave everything to the last moment but now I've been forced to create an agenda to work before the date is due. Thanks to that time management has gotten better.
Meg,
ReplyDeleteI am in large agreement that time management is vital to doing well in this class. I also talked a lot about time management in my post because the weekly assignments can come up very quickly if you aren't paying attention and you do not want to fall behind since every point literally counts towards your final grade. I also agree with your groupme tip. Although groupme seems like a great idea even if you are just using it to get some help or assistance from time to time, it can link you to much worse that you do not want to be a part of and if you need help or assistance just ask some people in your assigned group or ask professor Pryor when you go to a lecture.
Hey Meg! I can really agree with you that time management is something all people can benefit from. There's only 24 hours in a day and as students, we sleep for about 8 of it. Sometimes we can even overbook ourselves and be too involved. I'm glad you pointed out the importance of this. I also love the fact that you mentioned not being part of GroupMes. I personally have witnessed people getting kicked out of classes because they thought it was appropriate to share answers. No one wants to go through that so we must prevent it.
