Persistence, Organization and Determination are key. Some of the assignments take some planning which requires time and effort.
2) 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?
There are a couple projects I have not completed due to recording interactions and getting permissions. It was frustrating to adapt to a different learning style but overall, I am enjoying being out of my comfort zone. I am committing to those encounters more in these next assignments.
3) 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' ?
Become comfortable with the uncomfortable and keep pushing through. These professors are here because they have something truly amazing to offer us as students. Try not to judge the course before you've had an opportunity to experience it. Overcoming intimidation and obstacles will be a huge asset to any and all encounters in your life. Embrace it.

ReplyDeleteJamie,
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips for this class. I also spoke in my post about the importance of planning and staying on top of the assignments. One thing I didn't think of was the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone. Similarly to you, I also have had issues in asking people and getting permission to record, which was frustrating and uncomfortable. Great job!

Hey Jamie!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tips and blog post. I really appreciate how you mentioned the style of the assignments and the different learning style as something unique to this course. I don't think I've read any of the past blogs that really focus a part of the different ways of learning here in this course. I also really appreciate your tip on learning to overcome intimidation, that's a wonderful thing for someone to remember as they get nervous with blog posts.
