Essay writing
I always struggle with the structure of the essay when I have a time limit. I usually end up making points that aren’t related to the topic statement. Next time, I should create a plan in the first ten minutes or so that includes my topic statements and sentences as well as the quotes I want to use. In addition, If I use more of my time to create a cohesive plan, my analysis and evaluation will also improve.
Approaches to Learning (Self Management, Collaboration, Communication)
Self Management
– I hand in my work on time. However, I sometimes don’t leave enough time to finish my homework and end up producing something I’m not so proud of.
– For each assignment, I keep track of what I did wrong on a document so I can refer to it and hopefully improve the next time.
Collaboration
– I talk more in smaller groups, although I might talk less if it’s someone I’m not very comfortable with.
– I make sure to listen and respond accordingly
Communication
– I listen in class and discussions although I’m very aware of how little I contribute.
– I express most of my ideas in written work
