Halfway Reflection

1) I think that the biggest thing that has helped me in the class is not treating the assignments as an assignment but imagining them to be as me explaining about my idea to a friend. Also managing the class schedule such that I can treat the class as a way to relax my mind from my regular computer science major curriculum has helped me vastly.

2) I have felt like giving up quite a few times in the past. But the constant urge to compete against my own previous self and improve myself keeps me determined to continue. Luckily, I haven’t experienced any such situation in the last two months.

3) Tips

a) Assign a fixed weekly schedule for the class and follow it.

b) Take notes while watching the lectures for the cupcake.

c) Choose a business idea that you actually believe in for working on during the course.

d) Get any doubts that you might have cleared off.

  1. Hey Tarang,
    I especially agree with your point about keeping a fixed schedule, I completely blame me doing well in this class on me attending weekly live lectures and keeping a regular schedule on which i do my assignments. The assignments can easily pile up, as different assignments have different intensity levels, and waiting at until the last minute will be detrimental to a student's grade in this class. Well said, Tarang!

  2. Hey Tarang,
    I agree that a fixed weekly schedule helps a lot in making sure that the course doesn’t become overwhelming in combination with all other assignments. Taking notes is also a great tip, since it is easy to forget details after watching lectures, and especially later on if you have to reference them. The tip focused on the business idea is especially helpful, since the course is focused around exploring those details- and if you’re not interested it will become harder to motivate yourself to do the assignments.
