Half-Way Reflection

For this course, there are TONS of deadlines. That means you can't procrastinate much for this class, or else you will probably forget and miss your assignment, or you may not have enough time to gather all the information/videos for your assignments. To keep up with all the requirements, It is best to set a schedule and plan out when you are going to do each assignment. Looking ahead and realizing what you are going to have to accomplish is also a great way to stay on track. 

Lots of the assignments require you to step out of your comfort zone and approach strangers. The times you have to go out and track down people can become overwhelming when you already have a lot on your plate. During some of these moments, I have definitely felt like giving up, and maybe not submitting an assignment. To get through the day, you need to establish a positive outlook on this course and realize the values of how it can help benefit you. Once you realize this, you begin to realize that by not completing assignments you are only hurting yourself as you are losing out on the experiences this course provides you. I already had a tenacious attitude, so I do not think I have changed it very much since the class began. Following a routine though has definitely helped to get my work done. 
My three tips are as follows:
1. Do the assignments the correct way, on time, without procrastinating. 
2. Look ahead to plan out your schedule.
3. Maintain a positive mindset when doing the assignments and reflect on the skills you are learning while participating when venturing out into the real world.

  1. Justin,

    I agree. You can not procratinate for this class. The assignments require us to step outside of our comfort zone. It is definitely overwhelming and I have also thought about giving up, but I am glad I didn't. I like your tips, they were very similar to mine. I also like your image, it made me laugh!

  2. Hello Justin, I totally agree with your opinion about this class. This class definitely trained me about the time management in order to exchange comments between other classmates. One time I forgot to share and declare on canvas on time even though I posted the blog. From then on, I decided myself that I will not procrastinate to get work done any more. Here is my blog post. http://yukikokurashima.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection-week8.html
