Did you meet your goal? Be specific and provide examples.
Yes, I worked towards my goal and saw improvement. For instance, in one of my recent labs, I identified clearer sources of error by focusing on details, such as inconsistent measurements or external forces, which made my conclusion stronger. I also cut down on unnecessary information, which helped me complete the lab faster while still keeping it clear and organized.

What success/challenges were you faced with in working towards your goal?
One success was learning to identify specific sources of error, which I struggled with before. However, a challenge I faced was knowing what details to leave out when trying to be concise. Sometimes I worried I might miss an important point.

What steps/strategies did you use to meet your goal?
To meet my goal, I started planning my labs before writing them. I made an outline of the key points I wanted to include, which helped me stay focused and avoid unnecessary details. I also researched examples of common lab errors to get a better idea of how to write mine more clearly.

Does your goal need to be modified for future courses?
I think my goal doesn’t need to change much, but I can push myself further by improving how I explain the real-world applications of lab results.

What goal would you like to focus on in your next semester courses?
In my next semester, I want to focus on improving my scientific communication skills even more. This means explaining lab results, applications, and sources of error more professionally and connecting them to real-life situations more effectively. I also want to work on managing my time better during labs to become even more efficient.
