Half-way Reflection

1) Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 
     During the first few weeks of the class, I was frustrated with the frequency of assignments and how to use blogger.  Now half-way through the class, I am able to quickly navigate blogger and think more intuitively about how to sell a product or idea to a customer.  
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?
     Like I said before, I was frustrated with this class in the beginning but began to enjoy the material once I understood the eb and flow of the class.  I feel like I have developed a different approach to thinking since starting this class as I now focus my ideas on how they will benefit the consumer first and foremost.  I believe the elevator pitches were the most helpful in my growth in the class as I received the most honest feedback and constructive criticism during this exercise.  
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' ?
1) Don't get frustrated with blogger in the beginning it will come to you
2) Don't get caught up around missing assignment, Dr. Pryor offers a whole letter grade worth of extra credit on Yellowdig.  
3) Embrace the assignments and the feedback you receive and enter the class with a tenacious mindset

  1. Hey Greg, I completely agree with being frustrated at the beginning with the frequency of assignments. I have learned to better organize myself, and now I can complete the assignments on time without having to worry too much. The amount extra credit offered is definitely very helpful, and it also helps in being able to organize myself around the assignments and their due dates. I agree with the points you have made, and I made similar points in my blog post. Check out my blog post at http://luissoto93.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
