Reflection
When i chose this course for a first time i didn't know It was going to help me too much. The idea of taking this class was suggested by my advisor, and I think It was the right decision Through out this class I've learned a lot of things in a funny and creative way. One of the most important things I've learned I think was how to manage your time. Planners and schedules can be your best friend in college. Now, i write everything down in a notebook and after school i check it. If I have a homework or assignment due i will now. What I've learned in this class have helped me so bad in other classes. For example, in my psychology class we have to do an online assignments and sometimes i don't remeber when it is due and once I missed an assignment. Now after learn how can you manage your time i hadn't miss an assignment this semester and I will not do it in any other semesters that I would take. This class gives you education about how to use the tools that college provides you to be succesufull |
