Lecture Reflection:

January 10th, 2014:

How was your work ethic junior year?
During my junior year, my work ethic was between Advanced and Proficient, because for the most part I continuously worked on my graduation project during the class.

What grade do you hope to get this year?
This year I am hoping to get between a high Proficient and a low Advanced, because I feel like this is a realistic goal for me, and that it is possible that I will be able to achieve this goal.

What do you need to do minimally in order to receive that grade?
In order to receive that grade this year, I minimally have to stay on track, and complete all of my goals that I set for myself, and make sure that I manage my time, and make sure that I am also able to get done with the final draft of my graduation project paper, the presentation, and the action plan.

Final Blog Reflection:

I feel like I did very well handling a class that was mostly about independent work. I felt this way because I don't really like working in groups, and when I work independent I can focus more on my work and get more done. I feel that I did choose a topic that was right for me, because I stayed interested for most of the time while working with my topic. For all of those who are going to have this class next trimester, I would first of all give them advice of making sure that they have a few topics in mind before the next trimester starts. I also would tell them that you need to pick a topic that interests you alot, and pick a topic that will give you alot of infromation.

Notes Reflection:

I have been very successful on finishing my notes. I shot for advanced on all parts of the rubric, and tried to get the best grade possible on this assignment for Grad Project. I learned alot from my topic, and it seemed very interesting. At times I did get confused, such as whenever I read some of the articles and tried to get information.

What's Happening Post:

I have my interview scheduled for Friday, after school. So I will be able to put those notes into the notes template for my foundation questions next week. I will probably be able to reach advanced on the requirements for the rough draft this week, because I have almost 8 of my notes completed.
