1. To begin with, there is a lot of required attention and up keep to excel in this course. Initially I was doing very poorly with turning in my assignments on time and unfortunately missed a number of points that I could have easily gotten credit for. Over time as this course has progressed, I have developed better time management skills. Additionally, countless assignments in this course require you to step outside of your comfort zone and engage with strangers. This has assisted me in developing a personable state of mind when approaching others.
2. For the majority of this course, I often find myself questioning myself and the point of each assignment. However, after taking a broader look at things I have realized this course has actually had an impact on my life thus far. When considering giving up, I remind myself that the outcome of this course is totally up to me, as there are no quizzes or exams. I have developed a tenacious attitude and I believe this is because in order to receive the required points for each assignment one has to get up off their ass and put in a little effort. Or a lot.
3. 3 tips I would give to future ENT3003 students are the following:
-Organization is key. Do not miss multiple points because you are too lazy to do the assignment. Your grade is entirely and completely on you and there is a lot of busy work.
-Have confidence in each assignment and when interacting with others.
-If you do not already have a tenacious mindset, you will definitely develop one. However, it helps to think of each exercise as a learning experience. Make the best out of it (because you have to do it anyway)!
Hey Emmalee,
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem of trying to keep up with this course! The good thing is that there are 10 extra credits point available! This class is different than most others because it is more 'just go do it' than read about it and use it later in life! Good job and congrats on staying in the course!
