For this class we are writing poetry was short stories, I love this class!
Reflection:
What I am most proud of?
I am proud of myself because I never thought of myself as a creative person in the past, but while taking this class I have found a new hobby. I have developed myself though this class mentally, I think that this class has had such a positive impact on my life in school, and at home. I am proud of my ability to effectively brainstorm and work through my creative problems.
What was most difficult
This class is a challenge in many ways such as editing, and spelling and grammar. I have a very hard time with grammar and punctuation, so when submission time comes around I get supper stressed about my grammar and punctuation.
If I could improve this work...
If I could improve these poems I would make them easier for other people to read. Maybe make my ideas more self explanatory. I have a habit of making my poems supper hard to understand for everyone but me!
This relates to what I've learned in the past
I have worked on poetry in previous classes, but never have I actually enjoyed it. I think this is a sign of progress. I feel like I went into this class with a better attitude, and I was able to fully embrace the prompts and put my own spin on them!
I can apply this to future learning
I think that poetry has helped me and will help me in the future not only in my personal life, but also in my academic career moving forward. Poetry has been an outlet for me since taking this class. I am able to write my feelings and release the emotions I feel, it makes me feel better and gives me a new perspective. Academically, I believe that I have expanded my vocabulary by almost two times since taking this class. With the vocabulary I have under my belt I believe that I will be set for the next couple of years!
21st century skills...
I have developed my thinking and problem solving skills exponentially since taking this class since this is an online class. My professor is an old man who talks very... Poetically. So this leaves me to decode most of his assignments, and get to the bottom of what he wants to see from me. I don't think that I will ever forget the skills I have accumulated while taking this class, and I believe that I took my thinking and problem solving skills to a new level this semester.
PSYCOLOGY
In this class we study how the brain works!
Reflection:
What I am most proud of? Something I am proud of this semester from Psychology is this assignment. I had a hard time understanding how correlation was related to what were were learning in the textbook chapter. Turns out I wasn't looking hard enough. SO I am proud of my perseverance durning this assignment. I set out to understand the material and I didn't give up.
What was most difficult This is a more difficult class for me, but it isn't the material that's so hard for me surprisingly. It is the due dates for assignments! We have so many little assignments and due dates it's so hard to keep them all straight but luckily I have my planner and have a system now to remember due dates! If I could improve this work... If I could improve this assignment or in this class in general I would take more notes on the content we are learning. I think it would make a difference on the quality of work that I turn in. I think that the reason that I haven't been doing so is just lack of motivation!
This relates to what I've learned in the past
I have never learned anything like Psychology, I took Sociology last semester but I don't think it is even the same thing at all. In Sociology I reflected on myself more than I do in this class maybe it is because of the style of teaching but Psychology has been a completely new course for me!
I can apply this to future learning
I can apply the things I learn in this class in the future because I am super extroverted person, and after learning material in Psychology I can pinpoint different emotions or habits just by using what I have learned in this class. I think this class has helped me be a more observant person, which was something I have been wanting to work on for a while. I have noticed this helping me in work especially and I believe that these skills will help me in further work setting in the future as well. I believe I have grown to be more aware and I will continue to do so!
21st century skills... I have developed my communication skills through this class. Now I am able to communicate effectively, and am able to understand meanings behind what people are saying durning conversation now. For example, if someone becomes quiet an fidgeting while in a conversation, I can tell that they are uncomfortable or want to end the conversation. Before this class I wouldn't have even noticed that.
