During this course, I developed into someone who is much
more responsible. What I mean by this is that all my assignments are turned in
early and they are done to the best standard possible. This also shows that I
am a results-oriented kind of person when it comes to this class and everything
else I have to do this semester.
I felt like giving up last semester when I was taking Calculus
Two. This class was the hardest math class I have ever taken in my entire life.
After scoring the lowest on my first test compared to my many previous math
courses, I felt lost. However, what kept me going was my determination to get
my degree in finance. In the end, I was able to complete the course, and I am on
my way to getting my degree.
Tips:
1) Have an end goal in mind: Why are you doing this course?
Because you want to be an entrepreneur or something like that.
2) Take a look around the world. What I mean by this is you
need to look at how people are living in Africa, Asia, and South America, and use your desire to be well off in order to motivate yourself. Although this is not a nice way to put it, I found myself much more determined to work hard after driving through a crime-ridden neighborhood or reading global news.
3) Develop a routine of success. Always do the best you can
do in any assignment. Try to find a routine that allows you to achieve success, and you will find yourself doing better on exams and assignments.
Hi Joseph,
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to becoming more organized through taking this class. It's nice to develop a schedule to complete work every week, especially when there are multiple things due every week. I think it will help in the future as well, as scheduling assignments keeps you from procrastinating. This will aid your success in future difficult classes and in your future career as well.
Hi Joseph,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that through taking this class I have become more responsible. I know that some weeks there are more assignments due than others so I have learned to set more time aside and plan ahead. I like how you mentioned to have an end goal of what you want to achieve in the class because I have never thought of it like that and I think it is a smart way to think about a class. Great advice.
