If I could reflect on the past 2.5 weeks that i’ve been in college courses so far I would describe my experience as transitional and helpful. I knew coming in that nothing in class was going to be “easy,” but i’ve definitely found that the way that I have adapted into my courses is fairly surprising. I would say that i’ve taken most of the directions in the class pretty well, with a few exceptions. In all honesty, I would say that the first reflection paper that we wrote was something I kind of brushed off as something I didn’t really take that seriously. I think when any student receives a paper that requires you to reflect on yourself as a writer or reader, they don’t think much of it, which is exactly what I kind of did. When we got to our MP 1.1 I couldn’t necessarily brush it off any longer. I learned after getting feedback that I really needed to pay attention in class even more than I had before. I don’t want that to make me sound as if I didn’t care about what I was being taught, but I guess I just didn’t understand the scale of difficulty this paper might be for me. I’m learning slowly, but surely the commitment each class takes and how important it’s for me to follow directions and really take my feedback from the teacher and classmates seriously. A pretty good description of my state of mind would be focused. I’m not fully adjusted, but i’m getting there. As far as directions go in class, i’m trying my best to follow them. The thing that I find most important in the directions that I’ve been given is reading the material. It has helped me get along better in class, and contribute thoughts. I’ve tried more and more to engage myself into the text so that I can understand better, but some of the material tends to be a little confusing and dry, but there’s not much I can do to change that, other than read and succeed in the class.
