1. The course schedule for this class has enabled me to develop more rigid discipline for myself. The way the course is structured, with several weekly assignments all due at the same time, I realized it was essential to space them out and plan when I was going to do everything in order to make sure I did not miss any more assignments. In the first few weeks, I missed a few assignments because I failed to realize the obscure time that assignments are due in this course, 11:59 A.M. After this early mistake I became determined to get a firm grip on my assignments and started utilizing the google calendar, which helped tremendously with planning.
2. I was very frustrated a few weeks ago when I realized that I forgot to declare that I did peer reviews on canvas even though I did all of them on blogger. This was my second mistake in this class and I was close to figuring out if I could drop it. However, after calculating the potential points I could earn with the extra credit opportunities through cupcakes and surveys I decided to stick with the course. I also realized the bigger picture, and in order to reach my goals I needed to persevere.
3. I would recommend to use a calendar strictly for this class so you don't get lost or fall behind. I would also encourage future students to really think outside the box and be as creative as possible in order to foster a tenacious mindset.
Hello James,
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened with me too. The assignments being due at 11:59 A.M. mess me up all the time. I agree with setting a schedule because you don't want to be doing your assignments late at night. I think the professor made the class like this on purpose to make us get on a schedule.
