1) Some of the behaviors that I have used and developed to keep up with the requirements of this course is keeping up with a calendar and managing my time in a way that I put aside enough time for each assignment. The noon deadline was something that I personally had to get used to as I have had midnight deadlines for most classes, so telling myself to get these assignments done the night before instead of waiting for the morning of has helped me a lot.
2) Once the semester really started to get busy and exams started, I felt like giving up on a lot of assignments. With this being my senior year, many of my classes are tough as well as the assignments that come with them, so whenever these classes really started to get into it, I had a lot on my plate. With this class being an elective for me, it was easy to try and push aside these assignments, but the fact that I am almost to graduation and trying to keep my GPA up had motivated me to keep pushing through and completing assignments. I feel as if I have definitely developed a tenacious attitude in the past two months due to experiences like mentioned before. The past few weeks, I have had multiple exams, case studies, projects, and other assignments due on top of my work schedule, so taking everything one thing at a time and feeling the accomplishment of completing each assignment has helped tremendously.
3) Three tips I would give to next semester's students would be: Find someone that is serious about their school work and spend time with them and study with them (this really helps with motivation when doing schoolwork), keep a calendar by your bedroom door with everything you need to do for the day so you know exactly what needs to be done as soon as you wake up, and do not be afraid to ask for help from teachers or friends, this helps with your confidence when completing work.
