Halfway Reflection - Assignment 14

-

  1. Tenaciousness is a competency:
    Behaviors that I use to keep up
    • I draft out one assignment each day (Mon, Tues, Wed) and on Thursday I polish them and publish them on the blog.
    • I watch the lecture videos at the beginning of the week
    • I complete the cupcakes and peer reviews on Sundays
    • I also read the feedback to improve my assignments each week

  2. Tenaciousness is also an attitude:
    • There have been a few assignments that just seem tedious to me and I think about not doing them. because I can loose a few points and still get a good grade (mostly on the interview assignments). What pulled me through is that I like to give my classes all that I have got and I should not think about the assignments like just a few points. I have been developing this attitude for a few years through work and my academics because in the real world the work you do isn't worth "just a few points". 

  3. Three tips:
    • Make up a schedule to keep up with your assignments (they can pile up)
    • Read the feed back you get
    • Give each assignment full effort, they challenge your way of thinking

    Hey Maria,
    I connect to the behaviors that you do to keep up this class. I also really like the tips you have given. For me, I always need an outline of my week so that I know how much time I need to set aside for each class and its assignments. I think this is generally the way to success especially now that we are home and dont have much motivation to work.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Maria,
    I really like the behaviors you outlined, they show that you are a responsible person and care about this class. I can definitely relate to you in the sense that there has been some assignments that I did not want to do and procrastinated on, but reminded myself that the assignments are there for a reason and it's not just for points.Great tips!

    Hi Maria,
    I like the way you organized your assignment. It is easy for me to see how you distinguish tenaciousness as a competency from how it is an attitude. I agree that organization and time management are especially important for online classes, particularly this one. This is not a class you can scramble to do assignments for, and it is crucial to have a set schedule to get all the work done adequately. Thanks for sharing!

    Hi Maria,
    I really enjoyed reading what you had to say about tenaciousness. I feel that I sometimes also get in the mindset that I can also lose a few points, and I get really lazy. But, I get in a mindset and remind myself of how important going above and beyond in my classes is to me. I too am someone who gives it their all.

    Hello Maria,
    What a great post in my opinion. Your second view on tenaciousness and how you go about work is great. I never thought about it in that aspect, but oh boy did it make me view differently. Truly one of my favorite posts. Great Work!

Avatar Description: Name: Olivia Age: 22 Occupation: Electrical Engineer City of Residence: Houston, Tx Bio: Hi my name is Olivia. I just graduated from college and started working as an electrical engineer. I just moved to Texas. I am originally from Portland. The transition has been hard as I work extra hours to make more money because I need a new car. I have a cute puppy named Dixie. I have enjoyed exploring the different restaurants in Houston and making new friends. However, I don't have too much time to run errands during the week due to my social life and my work life. I used to rely on my mom to help me run errands during the week,  Things in common: We are both the same age, I am about to graduate. We both live in cities away from our parents and don't have too much extra time to spend on things like running errands. I don't think this is a coincidence because most people my age have a busy life and usually prioritize work/school and our social life.

Venture Concept No.2

  Opportunity: Being a full-time student, growing up with working parents and being surrounded by busy people made me realized that there is an opportunity to help busy people out. Running errands is an essential part of people's lives but it is also an activity that takes up a lot of time. Many people also find errand running tedious and stressful. The opportunity lies with people that have busy schedules, cannot run errands themselves or dislike running errands. These people need a way for errands to be run for them to relieve their strain on their time or stress that is associated with running errands. This opportunity would be quite big as many people would rather have their errands done for them than do it themselves. Currently people hire delivery services but most of the time these services are specific to food related establishments.   Innovation: In order to exploit this opportunity, there would be a service that would run errands for people that do not have time to r...

Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2 - Assignment 9

Interviews Joseph: In his interview, Joseph said that he believed that the service would be a good idea but he would not use it personally or in the office. He said that he would not use it personally because he has a flexible schedule where he can modify his hours at work and when he has to run errand he lives and works close to a big shopping complex so it is not too time consuming. He would not use it at the office because the office has hired messengers and assistance that run important company errands.  Charles: Charles says that he would not use it because he is a retired person and he enjoys running errands. Charles described errands as part of his routine. He also says that he is very particular about what he buys and how he does his errands and believes that a service would not get the errands done in a way that he would be satisfied enough to pay the service fee. Mirna: Mirna is a stay-at-home mother and does part-time consulting. She said that she would not pay for a ser...
