The struggle is that it leaves me stressing about how to get my works done on time. This resource will be useful as a guide for me. Overall, today's class discussion helped me understand how to correctly site sources using MLA format.

  12. This was helpful, although i've heard of it before, it was nice to see it as a review again. My time management and motivation has been great already, but when it comes to decision making, i still need to fix.

    Class was awesome, but it's coming to an end. our finals coming up but our party is coming afterwards! I was able to review how to cite my work in MLA. It was good to be in this class and to continue reviewing.

  13. Well then, I guess we all agree that the academic resource was very helpful tool for us all. I, myself, conclude that procrastination will not lead one to a path of success; instead quite the opposite. Time management will forever be the antidote to procrastination, but is still greatly overlooked by students. I believe that in our years to come, and hopefully this next semester, we will learn from our falls due to procrastination and will refrain from repeating them.

  14. The website was very helpful. It shows that ways I can manage the things that are going on in my life, in the least stressful way possible. In today's activities, I did not know that we were going to actually finish the book, but it was enjoyable.

  15. The information given on this site is very helpful. I shows how to develop time management skill which I could really use some help on. It also talks about how to use analogies to solve problems. I believe I can use this as a tool in the future. Today's activities was good. We finally finished the book. Using pictures as a brain stretcher was also helpful.

  16. Time management is very important. As a person who procrastinates a lot I strongly suggest finding time to do assignments in an organized fashion. I really enjoyed these weeks especially seeing everyones creative brain stretchers.

  17. This web site, similar to what we learn in our id180 classes, gave me information as to how, why, and what to do to avoid procrastination. Truth is that it's easy to start a daily planner, it's even easier to tell yourself that "i will get this done, by this time". But reality is that it's harder to actually start the work. Lord knows how hard we try to avoid the big p word "procrastination" but no matter how hard we plan sometimes we just become absorbed with the things around us. So, was the information helpful? i would have to say no, only because like it or not it's still up to us to decide whether we want to succeed or not.
    last class was interesting, we were able to finish the whole test book! its funny because i hadn't realize how far we have accomplished in the book! i'm still loving the idea of the brain stretchers, seriously? where were these in the beginning of the semester?!
