One of the first failures that I experienced this semester
was in the first week of class. I failed to use the proper URL when turning in
an assignment. The problem was that it wasn’t just one assignment, it was the
entire weeks’ worth of assignments that fell into this category. I received a
zero for the assignments, which is a new experience for me. It really pissed me
off, to be perfectly blunt. However, upon further analysis, I realized that I
waited until the last day to turn in the assignments. This did not leave me
enough time to ask questions and determine if I was meeting the required
criteria. The takeaway for me was to look at the assignments at the start of
the week. This allowed me time to ask questions and receive a response before
the mad scramble to get them completed. Failure is not something that is a new
experience for me, it is just a detested adversary. Yet, failure allows me an
opportunity to learn and understand what I will not do with my next
opportunity.
Hi Thomas,
ReplyDeleteThe first week is definitely hard for so many people. I was rushing to get the work done, and luckily got it done in time. It is obvious you have tried to right the wrong and continued to succeed in this class. Failure is a part of life and a part of all classes and I can most absolutely relate to that.
Hi Tomas,
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point here, it is definitely good to give yourself extra time to complete a task in order to compensate for potentially unforeseen complications that may arise. This is something I am really trying to work on myself, especially when it comes to school work. This can be useful for anything in life, it is always good to be aware and to stayed prepared for potentially unforeseen outcomes.
