Week 6 Reflection

As we all know the first quarter is almost done. What that means to use students were all scrambling to turn in missing or late assignments, talk to our teachers about raising our grade, you know the usual. Thta last two weeks in a quarter are the most two stressful weeks in my life.

Lately i've just been way to lazy to do anything and that shows. I really need to get my act together for all my classes but mostly just for physics. I participate during class, express ideas or concerns, and voice my opinion about something. I seem to understand all the material just fine during class but then once we have an assessment I totally freak out and draw a blank. I know Ilve put this in my blogs for a couple of weeks now. But it just has,'t gotten to the point that I can't handle these anxiety attacks anymore. I want them to go away and never come back!

For the next quarter, I plan to work my butt off! I'm going to look for more help outside of the classroom, so Ican get a good grade. Once I have the information I hope thrive in class and get a good grade.

I really care about my education and I take it seriously. Sometimes it may not seem like it but I do. I just really want to do good in my physics class. Thats my goal. I want to get all 3's & 4"s in active grade.

Enough about that, so on friday we had our 3rd or 4th assessment and my teacher wasn't their so I could not talk to him about it. But once I ha the assessment I started to panic and I just got so frustrated that I left and went to go see my counslor. It was embarrassing. If I hadn't left I probably would have cried in class.

But today is monday and it's a new day. I can't dwell on the past, I have to look forward to the future. But before I can do that I have to pass physics so I dont ruin my summer by going to summer school.

Until next time i'm over and out.

Week 5 Reflection

I realized that I need more then what is given to me in class. I can't automatically understand what were doing in class. As much as I would love for that to happen its not going to happen! I need more note sheets and yes more homework..

I really like the class dont get me wrong, its just that I have a tough time understanding sometimes. But this week my teacher explained a lot not just to me nut to my entire class. Their were some people who don't fully apperciate what my teacher does for my class. My teacher puts so much effort into his teacherand i'm more then thankful to get a teacher that cares about his job and for the kids who he teaches.

Last Friday, we had our second assessment and let me just tell you that I did awful on it. I thought I understood the material but obviously I didn't. I started practicipating a lot because that how I learn.

I have a phobia of taking tests. Ever since I started taking tests in elementary school i've always been this way. I sucks because I usually fail and also because its embarrasing. Man I feel bed because i'm getting to deep into this blog.

The last thing I don't really understand is that "we have to apply" to re-take the assessment. What if we dont qualify to re-take it. Then if we dont qualify we'll flunk out of the class and possibly flunk out ofschool/ I know that sounds over dramatic but I have a very over imaginitve imagination. I alays look ahead.

But till next week, I'm over and out.

Week 4 Reflection

I'm going to be frank I do not like how were graded and how we will actually find out what our grade is at the end of the quarter. Maybe it's just me but I like to know what my grade is throughout the quarter. What if your failing the class but you wouldn't know until the quarters over. I am very concious about my grades and if there even below a B then I print out what it is that I have to do or re do and I do it. How would we know if were failing? I know you want us to succeed but I have to know what it is that I have to do in order to do that.

I can't believe that i'm about to say this but I wish we got more notes so that I can understand more about what's avtually going on in class. I'm use to getting a bunch of paper for assessments, notes, and homework. I use these papers later on to study for a quiz or a test. I would really like it if you gave use more note sheets explaining what's going on.

I really like how hands on physics is. I tend to learn better that way. But lately I just feel like i'm a lost puppy in the class, eventhough I praticipate a lot. I just need a better understanding about what physics is about and what it consists of.

I hope this doesn't come off that I don't like the class but I just need to learn more about whats going on in the class. I realy like physics but i'm just having a tough time.
