14A – Halfway Reflection

    • Time management and being aware of the time constraints that this class has, will help you be the most successful.
  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? 
    • Yes, by accepting the amount of work that you will have to do and all the steps that go into posting, declaring, etc helped develop a tenacious and resilient attitude towards this class and in general.
  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' ?
    • Don’t give up
    • Work smarter not harder
    • Time management

  1. Hi Caroline!
    I really like your tips for the upcoming semester student's! I think working smarter and not harder is a big thing to take from this class. Navigating your way through the class in a smart way and using time management will really help students succeed and get better grades! It's also very important to never give up. I remember when I forgot to submit one assignment it really affected my motivation, but it also pushed me to remember to not give up and submit my assignments on time!

  2. Hi Caroline,
    I think your tips are very helpful, even to me at this halfway point! Although they appear to be simple and cliched tips, a lot of times it's the most simple things that students overlook and end up paying the price for in terms of grades. Sometimes it takes someone who's been in your place before for advice to really sink in. I also agree that the amount of steps it takes to get all the assignments done correctly actually reinforces and completionist mentality in us, to make sure we do everything assigned to us and do it right.
