Final reflections
Looking back on these past 8 weeks, if I am being honest I can point out my best and worst moments. I definitely felt the struggle to take initiative especially if some topics were not necessarily appealing to me and it made the situation a lot longer than it really should have been. Nearing the end I encouraged myself to finish out strong. Borderline grades are always the worst so I have this extra energy to finish on a high note. Looking back on my goals I find that I still need to work on my time management. The problem isn’t that I forget it is that I make the work a bigger deal than it should be. I feel as though this will be a constant struggle but I know that no matter what I will push myself to overcome obstacles. Another goal that I set out to work on was to be more understanding and apply myself to my work. Like I mentioned above at times it was hard but then I remembered this saying “Whatever effort you put in will result in what you get out of it” and I knew that I wanted to end well. Political science has most definitely taught me a lot and I feel more educated in views that I never once gave a second thought about. I realize that if I want to have a say in anything I should at least be educated in my argument and this class has opened up that window more for me.
Beginning Goals... |
General Goal: I will work on being a better student.
Specific Goal: 1. I will proof read my work being submitting. 2. I will give myself enough time to sufficiently edit my work and reread all rules and examples 3. Create a to do list so I manage my time. General Goal: Stay out of my comfort zone. Specific Goal: 1. I will work on communicating better so I can be efficient with my time. 2. Try to engage with people I would normally stay away from. 3. I will work on not being too comfortable even if an assignment due date is change |
Moving on.. |
Above I listed my goals that I initially posted in our 'Goal Setting Discussions", there are many things that I have to work on to maintain being a great student and by doing that I really have to stay out of my comfort zone by not being to comfortable with deadlines and allowing myself time. Also I realizes that I have to delve myself into my work in order to succeed. I want to continue to push boundaries for myself and actually allow this class to help me understand the current election instead of going in blind. I plan to use all the tools (discussions, researching, deadlines, proofreading, etc.) in my other classes and in my future careers.
