Now that it is the end of the semester, I can reflect on all the positives and negatives. This semester has been the most units I’ve ever taken in my college experience. It has also been a semester where I’ve worked the most hours simultaneously. It was definitely very stressful to find time to do everything, especially at the end when all my final projects are coming together at once and I have to study for finals.
Overall I did stay on top of my tasks and kept an organized planner, which was my goal #1. I did however turn in some assignments late but I still got them done. I also talked to classmates in order to stay on top of tasks.
I did not really complete Goal #2 which was to thoroughly understand reading concepts. I think this is due to my procrastination and busy schedule. I will work harder next time to fulfill this goal and maybe not pile on so much work next time.
Goal #3 was also not obtained very well because there was such short gap times where I had time do to homework. I need to learn to prioritize school over work more because I overworked myself this semester. It was close to impossible to find time to finish up work in all my classes considering on some weeks I worked up to 52 hours. I am proud that I was able to pass all my classes and not drop any of them this semester.
Next semester I will definitely take less units and not so intense classes. I don't really know yet if I would ever take an online class again. It was very convenient but I felt it was also a little hard to stay on top of assignments and to fully understand what we were doing.
