1) I believe this course has helped me develop more discipline as it relates to my studies. This class is worth 4 credits and receiving an A would be great for my GPA, but also the lectures and assignments have been interesting to me, so I have been motivated to complete work in this class more so than a lot of my coursework in college thus far. The assignments are due on a pretty consistent basis so I have a solid schedule of when my work gets done that I rarely stray away from.
2) I haven't really gone through any genuine feelings of wanting to give up or drop this course, but I have had times where I was behind in work and had to consider how I would be able to get all the work done for the due dates and times. What pushed me through was remembering how much this course will help me moving forward and reminding myself that I will only make it through college with concentrated efforts even when it feels easier to allow myself to fail.
3) My tips for future entrepreneurship students are:
-Make outlines:
It's hard to work ahead but it's easy to make outlines. Many of the assignments in this course are step by step or numbered. By outlining these you can prime yourself to work ahead by only having to fill in blanks rather than starting from scratch.
-Challenge yourself:
The guidelines for assignments are pretty broad, so encourage yourself to go beyond the minimum requirements. Write 100 more words than the requirement, watch all of the videos, make the most fleshed-out blog. This always helps you do better grade-wise, but also get in the right mindset of an entrepreneur.
-Go to lecture:
This class is technically entirely online but I advise going to lecture if you are capable of doing so. Interacting with the professor by doing in-class activities and answering questions creates a much more memorable learning experience.
HI Brandon, great job with this post, i like the layout it flowed nicely. I strongly agree with you first tip. A lot of people just tell you to work a head and you wont have to worry about missing assignments. However, this often isn't a viable option, especially with a full load, lots of assignments and upholding your personal and work life. So you suggestion to stay organized and make outlines is spot-on. Especially in this class where the assignments are so specific and have so many guidelines that you have to meet.
ReplyDeleteHey Brandon, great work with this assignment. I agree that this course has helped me learn to be more disciplined, especially with time management and making sure assignments are submitted on time. I really like how you laid out your post and your suggestions are very helpful and practical for this class. Have a great rest of the semester and keep up the great work!

I agree that getting an A in this class is important to me because since it is a 4 credit class it be good for my GPA. The three tips that you included are very similar to what i said. I think that the most important thing to do for this class is to make outlines. Overall, you did an awesome job on this blog post.
