1) I have used my time management skills, tenacity, and perseverance to keep up with the requirements of this course. I have been forced to be more creative in this course than any previous time in my life, and I have enjoyed the challenge of having to do so. So, I would definitely say that my creativity and use of a creative mindset has really developed over this half of the course so far. I am a very straight-forward logical thinker and this course has challenged me to respond to issues in very unfamiliar manner than what I am used to.
2) I felt like giving up on the first assignment that had to deal with coming up with an actual product that would solve the opportunity that we had identified previously. For the life of me I could not come up with an idea to solve the problem until I conducted the interviews that were required in the assignment. What pulled me through the thought of wanting to give up was the interviews I conducted. In a weird way, they were a stress reliever and allowed me to calm down and view the subject at hand from a different angle which I found to be extremely helpful.
3) Tip 1: Use your time efficiently. Do not wait until Thursday to start the assignments for the week, you’ll drown in stress.
Tip 2: Keep up with the lectures, do not fall behind.
Tip 3: Challenge yourself to think outside your normal trains of thought. Push yourself through the adversity of the assignments and really try to come up with something that’s both viable and sustainable at the same time.
Hey Parker!
ReplyDeleteI will agree to the fact that this class forces or engenders creativity as I was in the same boat. I have never been a very creative person, never have been able to come up with an idea in an instant, my mind just never worked like that. I also had so much trouble with the first assignment because it was so hard to come up with an actual useful product. I would agree with all your tips. Great job!
