Midterm Reflection
I found the midterm project pretty difficult to start with. I remember talking to a classmate about how stuck I was because I didn’t know how to write a memo. It was also hard for me to think straight then because I was under a lot of stress. Once I cleared my head, my thoughts came onto paper a lot quicker. I found this midterm very beneficial because it was an assignment I’ve never done before and I love to learn new things. Also, this assignment had a lot of analyzing, which I was never good at. I feel like I’m more confident at analyzing advertisements, statistics, and articles. Of course, I got a little help from the textbook, which was very beneficial to my research. I do still believe that my analyzing skills still have a lot of work to do and there’s always room for improvement. One thing I still need some improvement on is time management. It was hard for me to finish this assignment because I work on it really late and it causes me to stress out even more. I need to start making a schedule where I can list down all the assignments I need to finish and start them right when I get them. I always think I have a lot of time until I realize it’s due that night. I always tell myself that I shouldn’t procrastinate, but it always gets the best of me. I ended up doing this midterm project at the last minute, and I was happy I ended up getting good ideas onto the paper. I know I’m not always going to get that lucky so I really need to change my habits and mindset. I think that if I can learn not to stress myself out and get overwhelmed quick, plus get a whole lot more of sleep, I can put a lot more effort into my assignments. I know I have a lot more to give and this midterm project actually really pushed me. I’m hoping I can take the skills I got out of this project and take it with me when working on my next online class after spring break. I know the set up will probably be similar so I’m thankful for what this class has taught me, and I know all the skills I learned will benefit my education in the long run.
