Winter Vacation Self-Reflection Exercise 2017

1. Time Management.
This year I feel that managing time has been one of the harder aspects of the course for me. Having to balance self-priorities with assignments takes time to get used to, although I believe that with time the two will assimilate and will become easier to manage as the assignments become more frequent. An unpredictable schedule this year has presented many difficulties with balancing essays and other matters together in comparison to A-Level’s clear schedule. As a result of this, I have tried to practice improving my time management by setting aside hours dedicated exclusively to work relevant to the course while also reading relevant texts and sources outside of these times as a pastime. Specifically around the afternoon time; maybe practicing Latin from my textbook or collecting bibliography resources while setting aside an evening to read an ancient text. However due to some commitments and random events such as housing visits and food shopping trips, I’m not always able to follow through on some of these hours resulting in an uneven schedule for the week. I am unable to make up for the lost time as that requires a reworking of my already established schedule, though if I do miss an hour then I should rework some time to catching up with it.

I always ended up being swept away into a completely different environment to advance skills in a random field of knowledge. To counter my agreement, the set class times did help in my erudition to what studies I relished more and the areas which I felt were unbearable. This determined my time management based on interests outside of school.

    Time management is important to have because it helps get work done more efficiently and is a way to manage your priorities. Priorities along with making commitments are also learned from participating in a extra activity. Students learn how to prioritize their work when in activities while also finding a balance of everything else going on in their life; commitment is also learned but showing that a student needs to be 100% involved to put in their best effort to whatever they choose to do and to be be successful doing it. “Various research studies have lined participation in student activities to higher math and english grades, improved grades and homework completion, better performance on math, reading and science test, and an increased likelihood of applying to college” (Annemarie Mannion).
