14A- HALFWAY REFLECTION

1.     Tenaciousness is a competency.

I think a very important quality you need for this course is organization, in order to keep with your work, submit assignments on time, and watch lectures… You must manage your time wisely and really concentrate while doing the assignments. Because maybe an assignment will not require to take much time, but if you don’t concentrate you can lose the whole morning doing it. So, for sure, you need organization and time management.

2.     Tenaciousness is also about attitude.

I felt like giving up on two assignments, the elevator pitch one, because I am an international student and my first language is not English, so I didn’t feel comfortable speaking in front of a camera and explaining my idea because of my accent. And the second assignment was the one of the reading reflection, the book I chose was way too long, but it was worth it, it was easy to read and very interesting. What pulled me through was thinking I can do that, I felt overwhelmed at the beginning of the book but then I realized how interesting it was and it was fast to read.

3.     Three tips.

·      Never wait until the last day to do your assignments. You can work on them through the weekends or week days on any space available you have.

·      Be sure to submit the URL of your blog and then declare, when you declare be sure you accomplished everything they tell you on your assignment. Super important!

·      Watch lecture videos, they are fun and cupcake questions come from the lecture.
