26A – Celebrating Failure


  1. I have failed in this class during this semester one week with two assignments like this one. I failed because I did the assignment before the due time but I completely forgot to send the URL. The reason why I have done this is because I was in a rush to go somewhere and I decided to leave before I could send it in. I was really disappointed and I realized that there was no exceptions when dealing with this.
  2. I have learned to be more organized with my assignments and to plan my due dates more precisely. I have also learned to take these assignments way more seriously after realizing that I lost points in one of the dumbest ways possible. Putting the assignments first really helped me excel in the second half of the course. 
  3. I believe that my failure was embarrassing to myself because I dedicated a lot my time and effort on the bulk of it and then to realize that I failed them because I did not simply turn them in. Although being pissed about my results, I took this failure as motivation to do better. Therefore, I believe that this failure really helped my get organized and keep myself on track to do very well in this course afterwards. This class has taught me to take failure positively and use it to work harder. Failure is a learning experience and that can yield many benefits if one choses to correct their errors.

  1. Hi Teddy,
    I sympathize. The extra step on our part kind of seems like a shortcut on the administrative part. To be punished for something so insignificant when the assignment was done is unfair, though I suppose they have their reasons. At least, you became a bit more organized and that counts for something. Everything happens for a reason, maybe this just prevented you from missing a bigger assignment in the future.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Tess
