1.) In order to keep up with this course, you really have to be self-disciplines. You need to set aside more time than you think it will take to do an assignment (because you WILL stumble across at least one that takes way longer than expected). Also look ahead to see what the next assignments are, so you can plan accordingly with your other classes.s
2.) A few times I’ve felt like giving up so far in this semester were usually when I was getting overwhelmed in all of my classes and I was having a hard time focusing on working with a business mindset and going out to interview people. What pulled me together and kept me going on track was thinking about how I may be overwhelmed in a certain moment, but if I were to just blow off all assignments, I would really be disappointed in myself later and my grades would suffer. Also, I wouldn’t get the most possible out of the course. I feel like I’m starting to develop a tenacious attitude, ad a lot of it is because of the interview portions of the assignments. In order to get what I need to complete the assignments, I really need to find out what people are thinking and cut around small talk in order to really find the right information.
3.) Three tips:
-Ask the question. When in doubt, always ask the question you’re unsure of because it’ll probably help you out a lot in the long run.
-Don’t worry about looking dumb, because most people are either going to be very receptive towards you, or be wishing they could be more tenacious like you.
-Practice being more confident in your personal life, and it will eventually carry over to your professional life as well. And always keep track of dates-planners and calendars can really be your best friend. Nothing messes up your confidence like showing up late.
I believe that looking ahead on future assignments is critical in this class because it allows you to plan and start getting ideas for the assignment. I do this to find assignments that will require interviews because I know that I will have to work around the schedule of the person I am interviewing, so it is critical to plan ahead to get the answers you need. I thought the second tip you gave was extremely helpful because I was so nervous about others reading the posts in my blog but at the end of the day, we are all here to learn and we are all going to make mistakes.
