Midterm report card

       
            For my midterm I have decided to separate everything into the four categories and then give myself a mark out of 25. And do that for each of the four then at the end add up everything and that is how I am going to calculate my mark. 

The first out of the four categories is attendance. I can proudly say I have never skipped this class or have any intentions to because I actually really like it. I have been away 3 times I believe but they were for legitimate reasons, 2 of them I was sick and the other I had to go to the airport to pick up family members. each time I always made up the work I had missed and did it right away. I think this next one is one I have trouble admitting but its true I might get off task every once in a while. I control it really well because out of the ten times I might want to text my friend back or go on twitter I only do it about twice. 8 out of 10 times I control it and focus right away. I don't think it's a huge problem because I always get my work done at the end. when it comes to behavior I know I don't have a problem because I'm not disrespectful and I like all my teachers and classmates! when it comes to small tasks like reading in class or so on, I think I'm doing good because I'm not shy so that lets me participate and really contribute to the class. overall I give myself a 22/25 .

Section B: as of right now I'm not missing any assignments, I have completed everything. I did though hand in two of them late. the first was the Myers Briggs personality  test because I was having some technology issues but I fixed that and it's been posted! and the second was my chorus translation because I honestly forgot to finish it I'm not going to lie, I remember starting it in class but I forgot about it.  since I have handed everything in and they all have been of good quality I will give myself a 21/25. 

Section C: As I just mentioned before I am really proud and happy with my work so far. I do think it s my best and in every blog post, every comment , every sentence added to the discussion has been my best work. I'm not a slacker and I'm proud of that. I think that my work compared to most of my peers work is a bit longer in terms of length and detail. I like to get my message across and I won't stop just because I'm worried about it being too long. I don't want to say it's better than all my classmates because that not true, there is always someone smarter than me but I will say I do think its somewhere near the top of the class for sure. Here is a picture to show just an example of an assignment that I think i did in more detail than some of my classmates.



I think I could improve by paying more attention to things like capitalizing and grammar and staying on task 100% of time. I am really happy and proud with the way things are going so far! I give myself a 23/25. 

Section D: I think I contribute to the class quite a lot, I am always commenting, raising my hand bringing in new ideas, trying to make my peers usually my table mates come to new conclusions. for example in the big class discussions on Edmodo. I always try to comment as much as  possible and I try to share my opinion to maybe see if we can all figure it out? I really do try my best in those discussions and I know my peers do as well. I actually enjoy them to be honest it is kind of fun to see how we can all figure out something by sharing our ideas! I do think I really do deserve a 25/25 on this because I know I have helped other people realize new things in those discussions and even in my table I like to share my ideas with Avery and Jasmine and together we using come to the same result. we do it together and try to fix and problems we might have together so together we help each other! 

So i think my overall mark should be 22 ( form section A ) + 21 (from section B ) + 23 ( from section C) + 25 ( from section D ) that totals to be 91% . I believe that is accurate and fair for the quality if work I'm doing, my behaviour in class, participation etc. I think i have earned that A. I hope you agree with me.

  1. Lovely post! Thanks for blacking out the name of your peer but also being honest and beginning to find details about your work you see as strong. The next step in formal writing will be to focus on the way you formulate your augment and the use of formal language and grammar. Keep up the sharing!!
