I can say I deserve a “A” or “B” in your ENC 1101 class but after I conducted a deep self evaluation in preparation of this essay I understood that it takes more than just showing up to class, taking notes, and listening to lectures. You also have to be dedicated to putting in hours of reading and studying the material you assign to us. I deserve at least a “C” letter grade in your class. I’ve attended every class this semester and never been late to any class session. Also I completed most of the assignments and turned them in on time. I’m never disrespectful towards my peers or you and I don’t disturb the class environment with my behavior. I participate every chance I get and even if I get the answer wrong I still continue to answer and ask questions because I want a better understanding. Although I did assignments and attended class daily I still didn’t put my best foot forward and did not try my best. …show more content…
At times when I know I have homework or have a section to read, but I would often procrastinate and wait till the last minute to complete the task. With doing this last minute work strategy I don’t get a full understanding of the concepts and I don’t put a 100% effort in what I’m doing because I waited to the last minute. Then this leaves me to rush against time and doing the bare minimum to get it done. It’s about how much time and effort you put into this course, I can say I did just enough to pass by. If I had used my time more wisely and took full advantage of your class I would have made no lower than a letter grade of a B. The course and material its self isn’t hard at all and with your teaching method it makes the material easier to
When looking at not just this class but all of my classes and looking at how I have been approaching them versus how I should approach them it definitely puts my mind in a different perspective because I am a person that “strives for excellence” and if I am able to “ace” a class then I definitely try and do that but a lot of the time that doesn’t mean sitting there and actually learning the information it means
When I first signed up for this class, I thought that it would be easy since it was a summer course. This was somewhat the case. The class overall was not hard but there was a lot of assignments to keep up with. When I first started my summer courses I had trouble managing my time and completing my assignments in a reasonable time. As the semester came to an end, I believe that I have grown in terms of time management. I still procrastinate sometimes on little things but not as much as I did in the beginning. I am happy that I learned so many great writing tips so early on in my college career so that it can help me further down the road.
As we always believe that everything is easy and nothing is impossible for us, until, we realize that we are doomed. In fact, this is a big problem among students, since, many end up failing their courses for this cause. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking at the time I chose this and my other mini-term class, all I can say is that this was a very hard six-week journey for me. Although, the professors made it very clear on what to expect, I like many others, accepted the challenge without thinking about the consequences this could bring. Don’t panic, it was not as bad as it seems either, because I had the chance to learn a lot of new things that will definitely help me forge my future. I don’t regret taking this class at all, despite all the setbacks, I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful professor who patiently made our journey more bearable, and my classmates that somehow always contribute to my
...ach day in class I participated to my fullest extent answering questions, maintaining eye contact, and staying attentive and alert during class each day. I stayed after class to arrange meetings with all three of my essays and showed up early each time. In which I read over comments made before hand and digested them myself and walked in with an idea on how to make my paper better, answer questions you may have had towards my paper, and had questions on what I could do to make my paper better. While my work in the class my not have reflected an A I feel my time and participation are well on the track to excellence in the world of academic writing. “Once a person is determined to help themselves, there is nothing that can stop them.” (Nelson Mandela) I am determined to hone my skills of writing and make an impact where ever I grace the strokes of a pen or keyboard.
I believe that I deserve a B preferably an A because I believe that I did good this semester. As a junior this semester was very challenging for me. But I kept going with hard work and some dedication. One of my biggest struggles this semester was Math 170. Math has always been my downfall but I always try to get it. But this semester it just didn’t happen. But I can say that I did try, actually I tried really hard to get my work done. I also have a problem with procrastination, that’s something I really need to work on. If I didn’t learn anything this semester I learned that unasked questions don’t get answered. I feel as though I should have come to you more often for questions because I know that I didn’t understand the material. I learned my lesson and that will never happen again. Also, even though I didn’t get majority of it I still tried; I should get some credit for that. I took the first part of this final and got a 93, perhaps that could be my final grade right there. Despite taking 17 credits this semester, along with being a Resident Assistant, I have managed to complete all of the assignments for this class. Though I didn’t ace each and every assignment I did manage to complete or attempt them. So far I’ve had a lot of good grades in my other classes, and once again I can say Math 170 was the most challenging. I believe that I deserve a B preferably an A because I always try to do my best in everything in school, because school is important and my future depends on what I do now in school, and the grades I get are very important. When we had class I always took notes, and never been afraid to ask questions when need be. All of my professors told me that I’m a good student and that I’m going to be very s...
In a nutshell, what I thought or expected from this class before attending was ultimately trumped by the skills and information I obtained in the course. I have thoroughly enjoyed every day of class and can truly say that my only regret in your course is that it has to end. I know that not all courses will go as this one has, I know that not all professors will teach their courses the way you have. However, I can still dream can’t I?
