I'm glad I wasn't the only one having issues with Doc 3. Not that I want anyone else to do poorly, but it makes me feel like less of an idiot when I'm not the only one feeling a little overwhelmed or stressed out. When I was reading Dante's post, for example, I could strongly relate. I chose a subject that wasn't very easy to understand the first way through, either. Thankfully, some of the sources I used helped me to understand part of what was going on in the text.
And like Krystyna said in her post, what made me stay focused was that looming deadline. I wanted to at least have something readable by the deadline. My main issue was just trying not to get distracted, though, rather than real life events interrupting my writing. That and finding sources.
But there was also balancing the work for this class with the work for my other classes, which was something Kimberly noted as an issue. Whenever you're dealing with one difficult assignment is always when your other classes decide to assign their own difficult work. Seriously, it's like the professors conspire behind our backs just to make us all more stressed.
In the end, I probably did terribly, but for the moment, I don't even want to think about it. I just want to enjoy what little free time there is before classes resume.
Sounds like just about everyone has had the same issues with Doc3: worrying about the deadline, juggling various assignments, and just plain old procrastination... But don't be hard on yourself, I'm sure you did fine!
ReplyDeleteIts seems everyone had similar issues between the deadlines, procrastination and along with other things.
