WOW... it's already week 8.
Weaknesses: time management & commitment.
In this class, I have been doing HORRIBLE. This class is just an elective for me (as it is for others too) so I have pushed it off to the back burner. With that, I have dedicated little time to it. I have missed quite a few assignments due to lack of commitment and poor time management. After completing other course work and working on my capstone, I just want to do nothing and often times that's what I do.. Since I am more dedicated in my other courses, I lack commitment here. I don't know if it's just because it's an online class or what.. I prioritize this class last on my "things to do list" which is awful because I need this class for graduation just as much as I need my others.
Strength: Working under procrastination. I know how to get stuff done when I need to. For example, with this class I would wake up early in the morning bust out an assignment and have it finished before the deadline. 4 years at OU and I have become a pro at procrastination. I work well under pressure because if I don't finish then I failed..... aka not graduating.
To better my weakness, I have now been dedicating more time to this class and playing catch up.. Playing catch up really sucks because when I could be finishing early, I'll now be finishing on time. I am having to do extra assignments during the busiest time of the semester. If I could go back, I would 100% dedicate more time to this class.

Hey Geena!
ReplyDeleteHonestly im the totally the same way for this class regarding doing assignments and playing catch up every week. Im usually trying to get all my assignments done by sunday because I put them off till then. Im on track to finish a week ahead so thats good but i do feel stressed trying to finish my project, project feedback, and blog comments on sunday night when i have other things going on.
Hi Geena! I agree, I also have pushed the class off to last on my to do list. Good thing though, there is enough extra credit to finish the class like two times it seems like! So you'll be fine with catching up! It is a stressful class for an elective, but it teaches so much in regards to growth mindset! It's so nice to not have your work graded on subjective terms. I love that about this class! Good luck on catching up with assignments! :)
ReplyDeleteGeena,
ReplyDeleteI totally understand were your coming from! I'm in the same boat as you are. I have started working harder in this class to make sure my grade stay relatively good in this class. Playing catch up is the worst, but once you have finally caught up you feel 50 times better about yourself! Good luck in this class and all your classes the rest of the semester! I know your gonna kill it!
Geena, I'm in the same boat as you! I really haven't dedicated the amount of time I should into this class, and it's hurt me. I thought it was hilarious that you used working after procrastinating as a strength. It really shows how well we handle self-imposed stress, doesn't it? Have a great week!
