Semester Comes to a Close
Just like everything else, this class flew by way too quickly. When I signed up for this class and another I was really nervous about it being summer and not being able to stay ontop of the work; however, I am proud that I've stayed focused and been able to time manage everything I have going on. The one area I definitely need to work on is procrastination. By being forced to write on the blog and discussion 3, 4 different days allowed me to space my homework out a little better. Everything else, I pretty much save until the last possible day to do it. I know this has always been my biggest struggle and it's something I've been trying to work on in the past 15 years. This class not only taught me a lot about media and today's society but I also learned how to time manage better and procrastinate less. I would reccommend taking this class online to anyone, it's a great way to graduate early, get ahead, or make up a class. I will continue to think about my use with media and technology. I've made a conscious effort to only use it as necessary ever since I started this class and I find I'm enjoying quality time with my family and friends and focusing more on what's important in life. I've even been thinking about deleting my Facebook because I'm hardly using it now! I've enjoyed reading all of your blogs and posts on the discussion board. I wish everyone a happy and safe summer!! :)

I definitely have had the same issues you do over the past few weeks. I seem to put everything off because it was still early in the week, and even though I had ample time to do it, that terrible procrastination set in and did its worst. It is something I need to work it! And I also agree with the fact that taking this class is a good way to get ahead, because it really is, and it has made room for other classes that I need to take in the fall semester.
ReplyDeleteI am also a victim of procrastination. I just have so much in my life right now and when I get a free minute class stuff isn't what I want to be doing. Also I only have four more classes until graduation so I'm kind of burnt out on classes!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like parts of this class are directly applicable to your internship / career path.... and others (like the time management--great insight!) are also indirectly applicable. Good luck with everything...and have a great summer!
