2) Tell us what you learned from it: What I learned from this failure is that I got out of sync from being on a schedule/rhythm of completing assignments, watching lectures, and then taking the quiz. For this particular week, I waited literally until the morning of the due date to watch the lectures and take the cupcake thirty minutes before noon. So with that being said, I learned that I can wait until the last minute of the due date to watch lectures for the cupcake and expect to have a positive result.
3) Reflect: What I would say about the biggest meaning about failure is that it's all about how you handle it after the matter. You have to be honest and ask yourself, "Am I going to settle for this, or am I going to change something about myself to where I can be successful?" This class has changed my perspective on failure in the way that I can't control what life brings my way, mostly in regards to the amount of work that is assigned for this class, completing week after week, and having to manage that with other classes. I guess you could say in some sense that I am more willing to take a risk in this class, but I don't know about pursuing my own startup.
Hi Stuart,
ReplyDeleteI thought your post was great. After reading others posts about what they would consider failures, I noticed many people mentioned the cupcake quizzes. I agree with you, I felt that the time constraint and the amount of questions for such big lectures seemed difficult. I also agree that I found myself completing some assignments the morning of because either I forgot or because I had other work due prior. I think that we should work on completing lectures ahead of time and our time management.
