14 - Halfway Reflection


  1. Tenaciousness is a competency: The best behavior that I have used to keep up with the requirements of the course is to create a schedule for myself. Keeping track of assignments and due dates in a calendar and planning time to work on each assignment has really helped my keep on track and avoid missing deadlines.
  2. Tenaciousness is also about attitude: By the time I got to assignment 11 is when I really started to have trouble with my entrepreneurship idea. The problem that I was focusing on got harder to continue with and I wasn't very enthusiastic about solving the problem. so, that's when I decided to change the problem that I was focusing on solving to an idea that I have more enthusiasm towards.
  3. Three Tips:
    • If you are really having trouble with the problem that you are trying to solve, then think about changing the problem that you are working on solving to something that you are more interested in.
    • The best thing that you can do for yourself is to make a schedule. Write down all of the assignments and due dates on a calendar so that you will never miss a deadline and plan time to work on each assignment, and stick to it.
    • Setting time to watch all of the lectures can really help you be successful in the course. Watching them no later than the day after they come out can really make a difference and help you stay on track.

  1. Hi,
    I found your halfway reflection to be very informative and relatable. As you pointed out, often times it's difficult to come up with a solution to a problem, I also find it very helpful to put myself in the situation and try to understand how I would handle it. Scheduling is another good point you make, creating a calendar makes sure you stay up to date with deadlines and don't fall behind.

  2. Hey Nicole,
    One thing that I've been forced to do since this class started was also to manage my schedule effectively. It's very easy to just procrastinate and wait till the last minute to work on the assignments. This is something that I have struggled with this semester and I've really just had to buckle down and manage my schedule better.

  3. Hey Nicole,
    We both used similar techniques to be prepared in this class. Making a schedule and setting specific times of the day and time frames of how long you will be working on these assignments really helps you stay on track in the course. I can also relate to the fact that as time goes on the focus of the entrepreneurship idea starts to get foggy. I sometimes feel like I'm not really sure where I am going with it but I try to put my all in it and it is slowly getting better.
