1. Some techniques that I've developed are to constantly check the Canvas site to make sure I don't miss anything, and also to be willing to do whatever an assignment is asking of me. At the beginning of the course I skipped a couple things because I didn't want to do them but now I have accepted that I'm going to put myself in uncomfortable positions no matter what.
2. I thought about giving up towards the beginning because it seemed like this class would be a lot of tedious and irrelevant work, but I stuck with it because I was somewhat interested to see if this class could help me develop some skills I didn't know I had.
3. Three tips I would give are: 1) Be willing to do all the assignments, 2) Don't do the bare minimum, 3) Take everything seriously and you will get the best out of the class

Hello Dylan!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, love the image! Made me laugh. I definitely agree with the advice you provided here in your post for future students because doing the bare minimum, not being willing to do all assignments and not taking the assignments seriously defeats the purpose of this course! Instead of just taking exams and not actually honing in the skills needed to be entrepreneurs, we have the opportunity to do so. If we do not maximize on this opportunity, what have we really learned? Here is my post! http://breyflynch.blogspot.com/2016/02/halfway-reflection.html
Dylan,
ReplyDeleteYour picture made me laugh! I felt like giving up sometimes, too. I also found myself skipping assignment or not putting in my full effort at first- I wasn't used to the rigor of a 3000 level course. Because there are no exams and it is an online class, it is sometimes hard to keep up with the work. However, I have learned to push myself and stay on task. Nice post!
