1) I have been struggling in my accounting course and even failed the first exam. I thought I studied the material well, however, the results did not reflect that. Most of the assignments are not on the canvas calendar, so it is quite easy to forget about them. I had a rough start to that class, but I believe I have rebounded well.
2) I learned to be more organized and focused. As an online student it can be quite easy to become distracted, procrastinate, and miss deadlines. Even in this class, I have missed my fair share of blog posts due to poor planning. I, like most of you guys, dislike missing assignments and receiving a zero. After this happening repeatedly, I have taken more precautions to ensure I have everything done in a timely manner.
3) Failure is a bit of a conundrum. Sometimes you need to fail in order to succeed. However, it is one of the worst feelings one can feel. Failure can surely kick me in the stomach, but it won't knock me out. I've learned to accept failure, and use it to build on whatever it is I did incorrectly. This class has taught me exactly that. If you take a risk, the possibility of failure is there. However, if you can get past that bump and you use it as a learning mechanism, you can only grow from those experiences and build on whatever you did wrong.
Yehudy, I love what you picked. I never thought about using this as my failure. I also missed commenting on some of the blog post because of poor planning. I commend you on reevaluating and getting more organized. I also agree that with being online there is more opportunity to fall behind and procrastinate. This was my first semester so I will learn from my mistakes and be more organized next. I wish you well.
ReplyDeleteHey Yehudy, I failed my accounting class last semester and i do agree that it is kinda hard to keep up with assignments that are not posted on canvas. I have been keeping up with your posts because i really like the idea of your business and it has giving me an inside on what kind of person you are. You seem like you put a lot of effort on what you do, i wish you the best on your classes, you've got this!
