Some behaviors I have used to keep up with the requirements of the course have been to write things down weekly at the beginning of each week by looking to what's ahead and the deadlines.
2.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 felt like giving up a lot of times in this course honestly because it's been hard to complete some assignments for me, especially the recorded ones. It's been hard for me to balance these assignments with my other five classes and reporting lab. What pulled me through however is that I know I can make up the grades through extra credit opportunities and in weeks where my work load is less I can go and work ahead.
3. 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' ?
Three tips would be to definitely work ahead, keep in mind the skills and relationships you can acquire through the course assignments and always keep the end in mind. Thinking about your end goals can keep you on track and determined to push through.
Hey Carolina, I think your post would be really insightful for anybody taking the class in the future. Our posts were pretty similar, especially in the advice we gave. I mentioned the importance on planning and thinking about the application of these assignments. What you said about writing down the things you needed to do at the beginning of each week seems like a good strategy that I might try.

ReplyDeleteGreat post. You make me feel like a slacker I only have two other classes and have missed posts for this class. I do not know how I could work this class in with 5 others. Your advice was spot on though. All around good posthttp://gainerent3003.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
