I think I have exhibited my personal strengths in this class by communicating ideas with my classmates and with our ideas combined it helps to understand the material. As well as being able to form a plan or brainstorm ideas to develop a lesson plan. For sure a weakness of mine is taking time to understand the material. I spend way too much on topic that it slows me down.
Based on the goals that I set for myself in the beginning I feel like I am in the middle. I am not 100% satisfied with where I am, but I am close. I have been present in class every day. I am pretty focused in class; I will admit that I dose off sometimes. I can make out what lab, module, or group activity we have worked on. I have my schedule set out so on Tuesday and Thursday I work on GEO, and on Friday and Saturday, I work on my other class. From 12 pm to 5pm are the hours I spend working on classwork with breaks in between. Sometimes those breaks do last a little longer than expected. I feel that I can do better with my progress in this class. Compared to classes I’ve taken before I can put in more progress than what I am doing right now.
Based on my work in this class I would give myself a B or even C. I feel that way because I have little catching up to do. I am understanding and participating in the material. What I do want to change is to stop procrastinating and to go over the material on time so I can be successful and reach my goal by the end of the semester.
I feel that I can study the material a bit more in order to feel comfortable teaching earth science to my future class. The sciences are a weakness of mine so that is also a reason why I take too much time to understand the material. What I have gained with presenting/teaching in front of the class is learning how to plan a lesson plan and being able to present that lesson plan for a whole hour. I don’t think I would have been able to do that if it weren’t for that experience and now, I know that I can.
I feel that my ePortfolio can be better, I need to pay more attention to it. I can accept that my layout is easy to navigate. I just need to add material to the tabs and add more images.
I feel that I can do better in this class, and I am pretty disappointed in myself that I am not achieving that. I feel that this semester is roughest due to also working on transfer applications, scholarships, working on my mental health, and not having a job at the moment.
