14A – Halfway Reflection


1)    Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 
·       I have kept a routine when keeping up with the workload of this class and others, my internship, and of course family. I have really had to work at my time management skills. I really do not want to be working on school work on Friday nights during the summer.
2)    Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
·       I felt like giving up many times when developing my app. The most daunting task was recording myself for the pitch. I am not very good at public speaking or organizing my thoughts for something to under 90 seconds. I really felt like giving up then. I did it because I knew I had and it would develop my skills.
·       I have had a more tenacious attitude with this class. I think I started developing this attitude when Professor Pryor told us a girl was able to use her pitch to land a job.
3)    Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
·       Be dedicated to the class and put in effort. This class is very well rounded in developing many business skills.
·       DO NOT wait until the last minute. Your peers will likely be able to notice.
·       Have a plan every week of when you want to complete tasks for the class. Plans are essential for success in this class. Link a business plan or model.

    I think this is a great analysis of yourself. I believe that we all have wanted to give up at some point in this course, so you are doing a good job of hanging in there. I personally haven't gotten a good hang of time management, however. I would like to be at least two weeks ahead, but something always comes up. Keep it up, we are almost done!

    PS. Great tips!

  2. Hi Hayley,
    I think that having a routine and using your time management skills is key in this class. I also hate having to work on school on a Friday after a long and hard week, so managing my time is crucial. I feel like we all have wanted to give up some point in this semester, but we have all kept pushing through. I think the 3 tips you offered are perfect for next semesters class. I have put so much effort and time into this class and it is clear that you have too. Great job and keep up the hard work!

30A – Final Reflection

Experiences. In the beginning of this course it was really hard for me to talk about myself and find qualities to talk about. This is much...
