Adam Wolf 14A Halfway Reflection


Principles of Entrepreneurship is a great class to take but students must stay up to date on assignments to not fall behind.  The most important characteristic for this class is organization.  You must stay organized because there are many assignments.  Use the canvas calendar to receive updates on due dates.  This will help you not accidentally miss doing an assignment.  Second, stay focused during lectures to do well on the weekly quizzes.  Take extensive notes and pay attention to detail by listening closely.  The last behavior you should have to do well in this course is effort.  You will learn a lot from the assignments if you truly put thought into them.  Putting forth maximum will help you get the most out of principles of entrepreneurship. 

I felt like giving up after the first cupcake.  I listened to the lecture and took some notes, but it evidently was not enough.  As a result, I got a score on cupcake 1 that was very low.  This decreased my confidence in the class, and I started doubting my abilities to finish the course.  Instead, I developed a tenacious attitude and made a goal to improve.  I did not give up and as a result, I have done much better on future quizzes.  The quizzes and lecture videos have contributed most to me developing a tenacious attitude. 

Three tips to foster tenacity are: stay organized, keep a positive attitude, and stay on top of your work.  Three skills for developing the tenacious mindset are to give maximum effort, communicate with the teacher, and complete all work on time.  Attempting to maintain these skills will result in a tenacious mindset and will lead to a success in principles of entrepreneurship. 


Below I have included an image of my favorite quote about not giving up.

  1. Adam,

    I agree you definitely should use the calendar for keeping up with due dates. It helps so much to stay on track and never fall behind!I also think watching the lecture videos and taking good notes plays a huge role in your success. I also got a very low grade on the first cupcake and figured this out the hard way. Great work!

  2. Adam,

    I agree that staying on top of deadlines and assignments is incredibly important, I had 2 weeks of the course I was on vacation and got deadlines messed up for a whole week of assignments so believe me I know. Keeping a positive attitude is a very important factor taking any course, at times I feel like things aren't going my way but alwaysbstay focused and positive and things work out.
