14A HALFWAY REFLECTION

1)  In order to keep up with this course, I have really focused on time-management.  I try to keep in mind what I have to do for other courses/obligations in my life, and plan accordingly for this one.  I work ahead as much as possible.

2)  A moment that I have felt like giving up is on assignments where that are many parts that require detailed answers.  While these assignments are valuable, they can get a bit tedious/time-consuming.  Knowing that I would like to get a good grade has helped me pull through, but another factor has been simply holding myself to a high standard.  I would be disappointed in myself if  I simply gave up on certain assignments.  I have carried on the "sometimes" tenacious attitude that I have developed in the past several years of school.  Taking business finance and having to study for hours every day helped me learn that I can do anything (within reason) that  I set my mind to.  Every class since has been a comparative breeze.

3)  Three tips that I would give next semester's students would be 1) Do not get overwhelmed by the volume of assignments.  Take each one at a time, and before you know it, you'll be done.  2)  Try to derive real value from the assignments.  many of them ask questions that, if really considered, truly apply to students' potential careers.  They are not pointless thought exercises.  3)  Pace yourself.  Know the rest of your obligations and work on this class in a way that will allow you to have plenty of time for your other duties.
