Mid-Term Progress Report

My Progress:
I graduated highschool in 2005, so being out of school for 2 years i thought that i would have a hard time getting back into the roll of things. I was a good student in highschool but I was a little put off by college because it was totally different then highschool. But as it turns out I am actually doing very well for myself. This semester I have bio., chem., english, math, computers, and strategies. On all of my labs, assignments and test i have received at least 80%. I have also handed everything in on time. I have used a mix of my old learning habits with a little of the new habits I have learned in Strategies class.

My self as a Learner:
I realized that I can be a very hard worker when I put my mind to something. It also helps if I have an interest in the class I am taking. I plan on going into Dental Hygiene, which is a hard class to get into, so I find the motivation I have to do excellent in Pre-Health pushes me towards being the best student I can be. Not to say that I do not need improvement in some areas or that I don't slack off sometimes. I learned that sometimes change can be OK. Like I have changed my learning habits a little bit, after reading my strategies text book.

Next Semester:
Next semester I will keep my motivation. It is what pushes me to do my best. Taking strategies has really helped me visually see my self as a learner. By all the readings and self assessments we have done i was able to see what areas i needed to improve on. Through every chapter I read I find really good tips on how to improve my learning techniques. I plan on keeping the new techniques I have learned.
