1)
Tenaciousness is a competency. What
are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the
requirements of this course?
a.
I would
always check my Canvas calendar on Wednesdays or Thursdays and check the
assignments that were due for next week. I would schedule a time during my
free time to complete the assignments, usually in my free time in between my
classes.
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?
a.
The only times where I felt like
giving up was when I was really overwhelmed with the amount of homework this
class has. Its relatively easy work but it’s a really big workload. So every
time I forgot about an assignment, they would up pile up and then I would only
have like 5 hours to complete all of them. I wanted to give up and just take
the 0 but I would think about it and realize that I should at least try. For
now, I’ve been able to complete all of them and earned all of the points but
sometimes it’s not as easy as it seems. I have always had a tenacious attitude
in everything I do so I feel like it has definitely come in handy in these many
assignments. I have always been involved in sports and in activities that
require competitions so I’m used to having a lot of pressure so I have
developed the tenacious attitude and it’s really hard for me to give up so I
think that’s something that has contributed to it.
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' ?
a.
Keep everything very organized by
making a schedule
b.
Plan ahead by getting the readings
required
c.
Make friends with people who are
also taking the class that can help you develop ideas for the products
Hi! Great tips! Having friends also in the course has allowed me to bounce ideas off of people and also have more people willing to be interviewed. It's easy to feel overwhelmed balancing this class with all of your other classes. I agree that staying on top of things is the only way to keep yourself focused.
