Half-Way Reflection




Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 

I think that it’s more than just a skill that I have developed for this course but more of an attitude of not giving up and continue on. With so many little assignments and videos to create it can get overwhelming at times especially for me working a full-time job and being a single parent, so finding the time to get it all done can get stressful.

Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?

I think this section for me applies as well to what I discussed in the previous question. This course can get overwhelming at times, for me more so with having to do videos. But any way you look at it I have to finish the course in order to get my business degree no way around it. I can’t put it off or take another course. My attitude is keep going, don’t give up and suck it up.

Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset’?

This course is setup a little differently than most of the courses online. So I would say to a prospective student is to not dwell too much on the little stuff. Keep going forward don’t look back. Complaining too much isn’t going to get you anywhere if anything is going to make you more stressed out. Try to have fun with some of the assignments and good luck.

  1. Definitely love the three tips you gave for next semester's students. Complaining and putting off the assignments will hurt you so much in the end and it makes it so much easier to get caught up in the stress of it. I also find the course to be more stressful when an assignment requires video(s). In a way I wish that was stated from the beginning, or if it was already stated, then made more of a big deal.
