I would dedicate one or two consecutive days to watching the lectures, either Friday or Thursday and Friday if using the two-day method. This will allow you to have the material fresh in your head when taking the cupcakes, which open on Friday afternoon. Also, try to get started early on the assignments and work ahead. There is no reason not to obtain an A in the class as the format is simple. All you have to do is be responsible and complete the required work as outlined in the syllabus. Lastly, obtain the three text from Amazon and get the audible option as this will allow you to listen to the book while driving in the car or while at the gym.
- The behaviors that I believe are important to being successful in this class are: Having clearly set timelines, don't be a perfectionist, and time management
- To me there was no giving up. It was my choice to take the class and I knew what was expected prior to starting the class as the videos and syllabus is available before the class starts. The best bet is to work ahead and do not wait until the last minute.
- Here are three tips to fostering tenacity and developing a tenacious mindset
- Set clear goals and stay on track
- Do not let the assignment become more difficult than what it is
- You are in charge of the outcome (and the grade)
Hello, Jeremy. One of your three tips for this class really stood out to me: "Do not let the assignment become more difficult than what it is." I think I definitely suffer from a tendency to worry and overcomplicate things. I constantly wish I could work faster, but there is a bit of a perfectionist in me that trips me up a lot of the time. Easier said than done, I guess. Good post!
ReplyDeleteHey Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your description of this class. The format is clear, and as long as you complete the work and follow directions, you should not have any trouble regarding grades. I found your advice and tips to be very useful for future students enrolled in this course. Setting clear goals will benefit the student and ensure that they know what is expected. Not letting the assignments become harder than what they are is also important, and this can be solved through effective scheduling of due dates. Last but not least, being in charge of the outcome is important to know and allows that student to be motivated in their classwork. Great post!
Hey Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you mentioned not being a perfectionist. I don’t know if it has something to do with me being a Virgo, but one thing I struggle with wanting everything to be perfect. This holds me back in time management and I end up with less ability to do other assignments. As more time in this class goes on, I’m learning that sometimes it is alright to be rough and not have it all together; Rome wasn’t built in a day after all.
