1. The behaviors I have used to keep up with this course are proactivity and consistency. To begin with, the workload is fairly equivalent from week to week. Thus, as long as you do not overwork yourself from one week to the next, and stay consistent, you will be able to get the assignments done. In addition, be proactive. If you know you have two exams in one week, do the assignments earlier and you will not stress over them.
2. One moment when I felt like giving up was after the first cupcake. I attended both classes
during the week and took detailed notes, yet I still got a 0.8. I was not sure
what the correct strategy was to get a 1/1 and I was stressing over it. The
fact that it was only the first quiz pulled me through and made me feel like it
was just a fluke. I feel like I have developed a tenacious attitude because
nothing in the class really fazes me anymore. I know what needs to get done and
I know when it needs to get done. The experience that most contributed to this
was doing the elevator pitch. It took me a while to memorize my script but once
I got it down, I finally felt like as long as I put in the work, there was no
assignment that would prevent me from succeeding.
3. Three Tips
a.
Do your assignments ahead of time. Even if you do not post them
ahead of time, you will be better prepared to edit them if you are not doing
them all last minute.
b.
Attend a lecture. Professor Pryor’s lectures are really
interesting, engaging, and real-world applicable. You need to watch the
lectures anyway, so you might as well participate if you can.
c.
Pick a business solution that you are actually interested in
because many of the assignments will stem off of it.
Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteYour notes about proactivity are a great tip. I've learned that staying ahead in this class is quite helpful. It can be super beneficial if you have a big workload in other classes to get the work for this class done earlier. I also think you make a good point about attending the lectures. Professor Pryor does a great job at keeping everyone engaged and interested. Love the picture!

Hello Max,
ReplyDeleteI agree that in order to keep up with the many assignments of this class you have to be both proactive and consistent. I also agree that planning ahead is a great way to not overwork yourself at any point in the semester. In my mind, this is very important to keep up with all the work from other classes as well throughout the semester. Finally, I think that all your tips for success in this class are on point. Great job!
Sincerely,

Hey Max,
ReplyDeleteYour advice about pro activity and consistency are great for all classes this semester. Staying ahead and consistent is one of the best ways to keep the stressful workloads to a minimum. Classes can be daunting sometimes and you won't get the grade you want every time and that is something many people have trouble accepting. Its good to keep a positive attitude and keep your head up no matter what grades you get.
