Farewell Post-Reflection
To start with my final self-reflection, I want to say my life
will be changing dramatically here very shortly. I have noticed time management
falls under both a weakness and a strength for me. I feel as if everyone can
improve on their time management skills since life is always throwing new curve
balls at us.
Reading is not of my greatest strengths. Online learning
requires a significant amount of reading. Which is something I rarely did until
I enrolled in this program, then this is the time I commit myself to read and
now I love it. So yay me!! I am also very good at finding key points within
these readings. Well in my opinion, it is also great challenge and strength to
have an online learning or just learning in general.
One of my weaknesses is being a very shy, anti-social person. I
have a hard time contacting people when I need the help. I feel embarrassed to
ask questions sometimes. I started being independent straight out of high
school; many times it’s very hard to ask for help. I need to improve on my
social skills and get over the fear of asking for help because sometimes you
just need it. I know in some of my other courses I will be required to work in
groups so improving on this will help me greatly with these types of projects.
Also being able to contact with other students or even my professors when I
struggle with a certain assignment is something I may need to do in the future.
Within this course, I have faced many challenges and
difficulties. I always try my best to fulfill all the requirements for this
course. Most of the time, I submitted my works late due to the fact that the
time limit is too short as well as everything always pile up. Therefore, most
of the time, I’m behind of schedule but I always try to submit everything.
Well, I have doubt for this class whether I could pass it or not but honestly I
learned a lot from Dr. Rivera. This is my first time to create my own blogs or
even websites that provide great resources for the teachers. I didn’t know that
the website or blogs already upload on google. It’s really a great learning
experience I’ve obtain in this course. THANK YOU Dr. Rivera for this
opportunity and learning experiences I have so far.
Moreover, I have a major tool that I will use to help in the
future online learning. This tool will be highlighting while doing my readings
to find those key points and it always helped me. I will also be trying the
method of playing music in the background while doing school work to help calm
me and focus my studies. One other method I want to try that I haven’t done is
working outside in the fresh air, maybe next to a lake or river. Also, I need
to find a new spot to do my school work instead of doing it inside my house. So
I will be looking into buying a desk so I can have a place where I can solely
work on school. Some of the UOG resources I would like to use in the future are
Tutorial Service. If I make it through these two course. Then next term, I must
ask help from my classmate and especially my Professors for their
assistance.
One last note to everyone! Thank you for all the advice you guys
have given me and I greatly enjoyed having this class with all of you. Also I
want to thank Professor Dr. Rivera for all the great encouragement. I wish you
all the best of luck in your future of online learning, as well as any other
great things you have planned for yourselves!
