30A - Final Reflection
There have been many moments this semester that have caused joy and other moments that have caused dread. Some of the notable moments that have been memorable in good ways have been those 'a-ha' feelings during assignments when the lesson truly connects and the meaning becomes cemented. The times that have caused angst have been when logging onto canvas and seeing three or four big assignments due. The thing that sticks out that will be something I will remember years down the road is when I began to think like an entrepreneur earlier this semester. I had never considered the many aspects that went into owning and running a successful enterprise. Because of this, while I would not consider myself an entrepreneur, I would consider myself more so of one than when this class started. One recommendation I would say to future students would be to get ahead and to start all of their assignments on time. This makes the class much easier and less stressful, especially when dealing with the workloads of other classes. To foster this mindset, one must view all assignments and projects as positives and as a learning experience.

James,
ReplyDeleteI agree that getting assignments started at a good time with a long enough period to finish the project to the best of oyur abilities is a hard thing to do these days. With Fortnite at the peak of its hype it is hard to get any work done while balancing your time of "Fortnite with da Boiiss." Hopfully future students will not have such a huge distraction such as fortnite to deal with but till then they must focus on time management!
Hi James,
ReplyDeleteI also had a similar turning point where I realized that I had begun thinking more like an entrepreneur. This influenced how I understood my assignments and was able to complete them. I also agree with your advice to other students starting assignments early. I think that this not only made them easier to complete, but also more beneficial to my learning.
