Final Self Reflection Juliana Cruz

 Final Self Reflection

I believe that I’ve met the requirements of this class at the target benchmark. I was able to submit assignments in a timely manner with the exception of one ILA Newsletter entry. Despite it being the holidays and grades being due during the period of this semester, I was able to complete all assignments and discussion forms. Although admittedly, it was difficult to keep up with all the discussions and making sure I responded to each one. I tried to keep my response brief in some forums so as to not sound repetitive. I was able to communicate with Dr. Rivera in regards to some issues with my post. Thankful I was able to resolve the issues with the lines after some tinkering. This course definitely challenged my ability to manage my time. It was especially difficult this semester to balance my course work, personal life, and work responsibilities. Despite these challenges I tried my best to meet deadlines and complete this course successfully.
