The behaviors that I have developed and had to learn from this course were diligence, punctuality, honesty, etc. I also had to be organized and write down important dates so that I can complete an assignment on time. It's crucial that you are honest with your work and do not declare work if you haven't done it. This class is online, so it's easy to slip up on what's easy but not honest. Diligence because you make your own schedule and decide how you'd like to do your work.
I felt like I wanted to give up in moments when multiple challenging assignments were due the same day. I pulled through because they're worth 1-2 points that add up, or can affect your grade for the worse. So plan ahead! It will relieve stress and it's truly the smart way to not fall behind and stay on track.
Three tips:
1. Plan accordingly and ahead, because you never know what might come up in your life.
2. If you miss one assignment, it's ok! Don't freak out because Yellowdig is a great way to earn that point you lost!
3. Always check the announcements/emails from this course because there's crucial information that will help you through some assignments.
Hey Nhama!
ReplyDeleteYou gave some really good advice to succeed in this class. We both mentioned how a schedule and planning ahead makes a big difference in how you do in the class. However, for my other two tips I talked about the mental state you should be in while you focused on the physical aspects. We also had similar stories of the moments when we were ready to give up but fortunately we pulled through.

Hello NHama, this was a very interesting read and I can defiantly agree with everything that you are saying. The biggest issue for me in the course was the time management and than assignments are due every 2/3 days. This defiantly taught me how to organize my time better and to stay on track of everything going on in my life and this class. Something that I have not been doing but I need to start, is to do assignments early as this will ease the process and not be as stressful.
