Starting a task can be difficult at times, but finishing is an accomplishment. Everything is a process, making time, researching, putting in the effort to get the results we desire. After the task is completed, it is a great idea to conduct a self-analysis of the process and outcome. Reviewing the difficulties, time management, changes, mistakes, efforts will help provide insight into any changes that can be made for future assignments. With the semester coming to an end, I find myself reflecting through my English composition course. It was quite evident that time management will play a large role in my success for this course. Arranging my time adequately became a real challenge, setting time for work, school, and personal life was a struggle, but I was able to manage. Having access to the calendar with all the assignments and due dates proved to be a very helpful tool when planning ahead. Unfortunately, a family emergency came up where I was not unable to meet one of my deadlines. Sacrifices were made in efforts to get my work completed in a timely manner such as: canceling plans with friends, not attending social events, late nights working on assignments. …show more content…
At first, this was a challenge for me, not only was this new, it is somewhat difficult to interact with someone new online. Although, the material provided by my professor was useful, whenever I had questions or needed a second opinion, tutors became my go to help. The tutors along with some of my peers were able to offer constructive criticism on my work which helped me obtain more favorable grades on my essays. I am truly grateful this option is available to us students as they have shown to be an asset to the success of our
Assignment 3A reflective letter allowed me to express how the process went when writing my research paper. Writing this letter also allowed me to know what could have been done differently when writing the research essay and future assignments. Another assignment that allowed me to reflect on my writing process over time was the Literary Narrative. For this assignment I created a poem about my reading and writing process from the age three years old until now. I enjoyed this assignment and was able to share my creative writing style while expressing how much I value reading and writing

On any given day, my time regardless of how planned it is by making lists can be thrown off track due to usually a sick child/pet. No matter how hard I try, I know my kids will get sick and they will expect me to take care of. Since I cannot usually control when that will happen, it’s important that I take advantage of what I can control, such looking ahead at assignments that will need my attention to plan adequate time to complete assignments a head of time, instead of waiting till the last minute. When I know what to expect I can make plans. Another
In final analysis, my writing has greatly improved during this semester, and having looked at the area's I most need to work on has given me an awareness of what my weaknesses are. Examining what I have learned and what I need to learn allows me to generate a strategy to fortify my writing skills. Critiquing my own work has given me insight into how my writing is progressing in this class and allowed me to see short comings I had missed previously. Self-evaluation is a helpful tool for anyone who wants to continue to learn what areas they can improve upon and how much progress they are making. I believe those who appraise their own work will have a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses then those who do not evaluate themselves.
During my first semester in college, I learned about time management, budgeting, study skills, and essay/writing. Time management has given me the advantage to plan my work ahead of time and use my time however and whenever I want. As students, we do not have our parents or guardians to let us know about arriving to class or going to work. We must be independent and take full responsibility of our actions. We have to make the time on our own by becoming organized and improving our punctuality. Ever since I have been here, I became organized and punctual. I take the time to clean and organize my room. The idea may seem dull, but I like cleaning. I also organize clothes, food, and personal products. My punctuality has improved as well. I arrive
Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet”, released in 1996, is a film set in the modern day in which the lines from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a very famous play which has inspired much media since. As for what Baz Luhrmann accomplished with the source material, it is safe to say that his film absolutely butchered it. The modern day setting in the movie offered a fantastic opportunity to highlight the connection between ongoing feuds in the middle ages and today’s issues of social class separation, gang violence, and political polarization. This route was not taken, but rather the one of drilling as much absurdity and distractions into the film as possible. The worst three issues of the film are that the film makes the writing of the story clash with the setting rather than compliment it, the film has generally terrible cinematography and is littered with distractions that make following the plot much harder than it needs to be,
The problem of time management can be said to be universal not only affecting students but also other people in careers. This problem is seen to transition from a person’s life from different cadres of his or her engagement specifically from home, school and at work. It is also a problem that is internal and not external.
Time management is the ability to uses one’s time effectively or productively .In her article “Assessing time-management skills in terms of age, gender, and anxiety levels: A study on nursing and midwifery students in Turkey”, Hatice Kaya (2012) reports that the success of university students depends on their ability to utilize their time properly and completely. Katice purpose was to determine how factors such as age, gender, and anxiety levels influence the ability to manage time.

Looking through my past submissions and pieces of work throughout this past semester, I have made many realizations in regards to my progress as an English student. Through re-reading my writing, and reviewing the feedback I have received on my writing, I can recognize my growth as an English student. In addition to realizing my growth, I am also able to see a lot of areas that still need work. This past semester I have faced many challenges, I have pushed myself to go outside of my comfort zone, and I have excelled in several areas. After analyzing my past works from this semester, I have identified many re-occurring strengths and weaknesses from each unit, as well as challenges and goal assessments for myself in the future.
Time management is not a new idea and many methods have been proposed regarding the best way to handle time management issues for business students. These suggestions can often be quite simple, such as writing down lists of things to do in order to support people in making good use of their time for work or recreational purposes. When time pressures are high, planning tasks and actions does not always lead to the completion of the work. It is in recognition of this that time management training programs have been designed, aiming to give an insight into the time required for activities, ways to make time plans, and increasing the efficiency of people by teaching them how to plan properly, how to prioritize tasks, and how to handle unexpected tasks. This is increasingly easy, particularly for students, as “books, articles, and time management training programs that were initially developed for managers have been made available to everyone”.(Claessens, Brigitte J.C. 2004).
When you control your time, and work more efficiently, you're able to learn more and increase your experience faster. Time management should also include more than teaching, scholarship, and service. Effective time management also means reserving time for recovery, and time for financial factors, time for family, and time for friends. Having a goal-oriented strategy that makes an effective use of your time will bring you success no matter how you look at it. There isn’t anything we can do about time itself. We can change how we deal with events
