There are no grades in the Medill cherubs program, but there are still plenty of deadlines for applicants to meet. From the eight-hour time limit for the Fourth of July assignment to the 11-day trend story, cherubs must consistently turn in their articles on time to receive proper feedback from their instructors.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually the earlier you turn something in, the better feedback you get,\u201d Jeffrey Serber of Aventura, Florida, said. \u201cYour professor doesn\u2019t have to worry about giving feedback in time if you submit something by the deadline, but there\u2019s no guarantee you\u2019ll get something back if you get it in late.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another cherub, however, shared a different philosophy when it comes to turning in assignments.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust don\u2019t stress about it,\u201d said Carlo Vellandi of Ladera Ranch, California. \u201cI personally turned in every assignment with about an hour left. My best writing is when I can feel that deadline, so usually I wait until that last day, last hour to start, and then I finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though these two approaches to meeting deadlines seem different, they ultimately promote submitting assignments on time \u2014 an essential habit and skill for all cherubs to learn throughout the program.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can never be too early, but you can always be too late,\u201d Serber said. \u201cGet stuff done before the deadline, and you won\u2019t have to find yourself up at four in the morning working on articles.\u201d<\/p>\n
While completing assignments by the deadline is important, it is equally important that cherubs expend sufficient effort on their stories, making sure they are high quality.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tell students to stress less about getting it done fast, and stress more about getting it done right first,\u201d instructor John Kupetz said. \u201cIf you focus first on getting things done fast, you\u2019ll get faster at doing it wrong. Focus on getting it right first, and then speed will come as you practice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
