Day 10 Unit 1 Test and Self-Reflection

Self Reflection:

Honest self-reflection is the key to long-term success. Looking back at the most recent grading period, create a reflective blog posting that addresses the following topics related to your performance during this time frame.

• Paying attention in class and taking good notes
• Managing your time, staying organized and following the course calendar
• Creating a quiet place to study outside of class
• Your commitment to succeed
• Seeking help from others and studying with a group

It's not about me... it's about you and your future. I care about you and I want you to do well, but ultimately, it's up to you. Your first step is to be real and honest with yourself. Then you need to hold yourself accountable and initiate meaningful change in your attitude and actions.

Please take this survey to get started.
