Interim Reflection

An independent study is definitely a great experience I think more people should have the opportunity to try. Of course, while everyone at Durham Academy has this chance, I think there are many other potential factors stopping them from choosing to do so, but that discussion is for another time.

So far, it’s been quite the ride, trying to figure out how to go about a more organized way of self-teaching. I’ve had a lot of experience with self-teaching various topics throughout my entire life; however, it’s definitely much different when I have to make a schedule for myself and meet a minimum hour requirement every week instead of doing nothing one week and 30 hours the next. Despite this, I still think this is good practice for learning how to consistently learn since many areas of study require consistent practice rather than erratic. Overall, I think I’ll be working on maintaining a better schedule to keep with my original goals for this independent study.

Speaking of erratic, I know I haven’t been too consistent with my posts here, so I plan to work on that going forward as well. Regarding other things I might work on for this blog, I’m thinking about acting a page to my blog for minor updates on what I work on every day or week in addition to a post about some recent updates to my independent study, so look out for that as well!
