14A - Halfway Reflection

1) The behaviors I have used to keep up with the requirements for this course are: setting up a schedule for this course, review others' work, communicating my ideas to other people and analyzing their responses. Planning out times for you to focus on this course will guide you in making sure you get assignments completed and you are able to correctly answer the weekly cupcakes. Being able to seek out unfulfilled needs and explaining how you would solve these problems is another skill used in the class. And lastly, being able to not only review your own work, but those of your group members as well, so that you are able to learn different methods and add them to your own work to improve your ideas.

2) I believe I have developed a more tenacious attitude in the past two months. As a new student to UF, juggling coursework has felt a bit overwhelming at times; one week in particular was when we were assigned three assignments for this class and I had an exam I was reviewing for in another class due the night before those assignments were due. But through time-management, I was able to dedicate time to each course and divide my workload into days.

3) Tips for next semester's students:

• Follow along with the class lectures every week, as the content provided is critical when completing those assignments associated with the lectures, as well as the cupcakes. Playing catch-up is harder than it sounds. 
• Plan and write out a schedule for yourself for this class, and other classes as well. This should help you develop your time management skills and so that you can make a habit out of the times you do school work and get the most out of your time. It is best to divide your workload up into sections, rather than do everything all at once and you prevent last-minute submissions. 
• Make sure to read directions carefully and follow along with the course syllabus if you have any doubts. This will clarify any hiccups you may have with assignments or cupcakes, and allow you to trust in yourself and work confidently so that you may execute effectively.
