- A behavior I have used to keep up with the requirements of this course is making sure to manage my time and get the assignments done usually ahead of time. The deadlines for these assignments are unorthodox and can get hectic if not properly paid attention to. On the other hand, they definitely help in getting in a habit to being more proactive.
- There are plenty of nights where I just felt like I couldn't focus enough or was too tired to get the assignments done. What pulled me through more than anything else was to not think too much into these assignments; they are quite simple once you have a clear and open mind. I feel like I've built a pretty tenacious attitude that fits this belief. When I feel overwhelmed with other things or too tired to do these assignments, I'll simply set my alarm to wake me up in the morning before it is due and get some sleep. Lately, I have even been waking myself up before the alarm and able to get the assignment done much faster with a clear head.
- Three tips I would give prospective students about fostering the skills that support tenacity and developing the tenacious mindset are:
- Make sure to stay organized and be on top of every single deadline.
- Work ahead to build that proactive skillset while also alleviating the stress of having to get things done at the last minute.
- Don't overthink things! Sometimes, you're only required to give intuitive responses, so there is no need to overdo it.

I too find that time-management is one of the highest priorities in this class as well as all others. My time-management skills have improved in this class but could always get better. I also experience the nightly fatigue and get into the mindset that sleep is far more important so I have been waking up at earlier hours to get these assignments accomplished. It's nice because it allows me to get a head start on my day instead of sleeping in until 11. I fully agree with your three tips, keeping a clear head is important and staying organized is a key component to that!
