1.) Recalling a failure of mine this semester, I can remember failing my first ever exam at UF. Coming from Santa Fe college I thought it prepared me well for UF, so I applied the same studying routine that passed me at SFC with flying colors. This class was a difficult class and it was hard to keep up with the professor in her lectures. My studying was not enough to pass the exam and it was very disheartening.
2.) I learned from this failure that I needed to adjust my studying habits to UF standards. I also learned about resources such as rewatching the recorded lectures to improve my note-taking. As well as obtaining resources like smoking notes and study edge.
3.) I was very disheartened by this failure and it changed my perspective on my study habits. I tend to handle failure pretty well but I do get emotional about it, however, I don't dwell on it and I immediately look forward to what I can change to better next time. This class taught me how to look at failure at a more positive light (that it is a learning experience) and now I 'm more likely to take a risk now and learn from the outcome.
Hi, Samuel,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to adjust with your studies. UF is a top ten public school for a reason and a lot of people are challenged with the coursework, including myself. I think its normal to have different expectations on any thing new that you do.
