Taxonomy of Reflection: Week 5
Remembering: What did I do?
I organized my sources for the first draft of my literature review. I failed to complete any additional work.Understanding: What was important about it?
The importance is to the future act of writing; this will help me create the literature review with maximum efficiency.
Application: When did I do this before? Where could I use it again?
I've done this kind of thing before when writing papers; that is, classifying and organizing sources. It is likely to occur often throughout the rest of my life.
Analysis: Do I see any patterns or relationships in what I did?
The pattern is procrastination, though this time it may be more accurate to refer to it as exhaustion. More about this below.Evaluation: How well did I do? What worked? What do I need to improve?
I did horribly. I had no energy, no discipline, no concentration, no time. This has been one of the most difficult weeks I have ever faced academically.
To improve, I must actually create a product.
To improve, I must actually create a product.
Creation: What should I do next? What's my plan/design?
I must complete the belated first draft of the literature review, post haste. But I can't focus my mind!
Personal Reflections
What a disaster. What a personal failure. I arrived in Denver feeling sick, and stayed that way throughout the week. After completing CE classes and professional requirements, I would return to my room exhausted. I failed to get any work done throughout the week, except for minor expansion and classification of the material. I sat down to begin writing several times, but each time I could not manage to concentrate on the task.
I've never experienced such utter academic failure. There have been times when I have produced subpar work, but never before have I straight up missed an assignment. I am disgusted with myself. I am so sorry for letting Dr. Weaver and my professors down.
Even writing this blog post is taxing my stamina. I feel like I could sleep a week.
I will arise tomorrow morning, complete my obligations at work, and then write until I have a product to submit.
