1. An example where I felt successful in class was when I did well on my quiz. I felt that since this was the first thing we were being tested on I wanted to make sure that I actually understood the material I was being taught. Another moment where I felt I was doing well in class was when I was working on my digestive system t-shirt. Although, the project mainly consisted of coloring, I was able to learn and test myself on the various enzymes and pH levels throughout the digestive system. Lastly, the biology project, that I worked which included the various terms, enabled me to learn more about the parts of the unit that I did not understand (like lacteals, sodium bicarbonate, etc.).
2. I believe my work habits are really good. I finish all my assignments on time and work through the worksheets as they are given. I try my best to participate in class discussions and answer questions when I feel confident. On top of that, I come to the majority of classes and I am always on time. When I flip through my binder I see completed worksheets and thoroughly completed assignments.
3. I mainly like to work by myself on projects because I do not like to depend on others. On the other hand, when I am working on projects, I am able to ask my friends for help and they aid me on anything I am currently having troubles with. I also worked with classmates on the latest lab that we did in class with pipe cleaners. Baneet and I were able to help and teach each other about the various structures. It has enhanced my learning because I am able to learn and get a different understanding of the topics from another persons point of view. I am also able to further embed information that I understand when I explain it to others.
4. My goals for biology is to actually understand the material so it will help me in post-secondary when I take biology courses. In order to accomplish my goal I need to be able to do well academically. This means that I need to be reviewing my material/course work daily, preparing for tests as best as I can and putting in all my effort into assignments.
