Halfway Reflection

The behavior you have to exhibit to keep up with the requirements of this course is that of discipline. You have to have the discipline to not just handle the coursework, which is plentiful, but you have to have the discipline to check Canvas everyday to make sure you've completed what you need to. Your work will need to completed before 9pm on the day it's due instead of 12am, so you're not going to want to wait till last minute.

I think that the only moment when I felt overwhelmed by this class would be sometime around the third week when I realized that every week there were several assignments due. It initially limited the study time I needed for other courses, but I learned use my time more efficiently and started planning time to study and time to complete assignments. After I got into a weekly trend the class became less stressful and I knew what to expect week after week.

The three tips I would give students for next semester is 1) Work in the mornings because this class has a lot of work and an early deadline, so waiting till last minute just doesn't work as well as it may with other classes. 2) Develop the discipline to check Canvas every day for assignments if you don't already because there are a lot of them and it can be easy to forget every once in a while. 3) Understand that this class is harder than you think, so be prepared to work more than you expect. Develop a daily routine that you can fit this class into and work ahead when you get the chance.
