This year in World Studies for Business II I feel like
I have learned and grown so much as a student. I
found that I was mostly challenged on keeping up with my work because I’m a huge procrastinator and horrible at time management. I really feel like I grew as a writer in this class, simply because of the fact that I was able to become better at finding supporting details for my claims. Before I really struggled with that, but after working on it in groups, I was then able to do it a lot better by myself. Something new that I experienced in this class was a ton of group work. I don’t think I’ve ever had a class with so much group work besides some academy classes. As a virtual learner, I think this really helped because I was able to communicate with classmates and hear different perspectives.
Looking back at what we learned through the year,
I realized that a good amount of what we learned has plenty of ties and connections to business and entrepreneurship today. During many of the time periods we learned about, people took what they had and made better versions of it. They were able to collaborate and overstep their boundaries. This resulted in tons of new inventions, ideas, religions, and more. For example during the renaissance time period they were able to advance their culture, style of art, and architecture.
After participating in this class, I feel there are
some areas that I still need to grow in. One being time management. I wasn’t wise with the time I was using and ended up turning in assignments late. I feel like if I were more organized and stopped procrastinating I would have had an overall better experience in this class, as it is easy to fall behind and hard to catch back up. But as the school year is coming to an end, I will say this was one of the best classes I’ve had in all my school years and it sucks that I wasn’t able to enjoy it in person and I will miss it.
