Atomic Theory:
For this unit, I think my biggest strength was using class time to practice different questions and complete assignments given. Since it was the first unit I was very motivated to do well on the test and wanted to make sure I properly understood the content that was being given. I spent many nights writing my own notes and completing any homework we had.
My weakness was that Instead of asking my peers or teachers for help when I had a question, I tried to teach myself. This seemed like it would work at the time but I didn’t end up getting as good of a mark in our unit test as I thought I would and this made me realize that asking for help when you don’t understand is way more effective than trying to teach yourself a subject that you’re fairly new too.
I am planning to retake this test and I think I have a much better understanding of how to properly study and understand the content learned to the best of my abilities. I’ve grown much more confident in my intelligence since the start of this year and I’m a lot more motivated to try my best and push myself in this class.
Bonding:
This unit was much more of a success for me than the previous one. I knew what I had done wrong when it came to studying and practicing and therefore I knew what I had to do to improve my mark and comprehend the content being taught. My motivation and study strategies were my strengths during this unit. I made sure to ask any questions I was really happy with my unit test mark as I’d worked hard to achieve it and I felt that it reflected my understanding well.
My struggle with this unit was my lab work. We only did one lab but I had to hand it in for corrections as me and my group didn’t do very well on it. We didn’t check over our work before handing in the worksheet and there were quite a few avoidable mistakes that could’ve been prevented if we’d checked over our work beforehand. I was happy with our mark after doing corrections but I think it was a good reminder that checking over work is important.
In the end, I was happy with how this unit went as it was somewhat a continuation from the first but my improvement on the unit test reflected my growth when it comes to learning.
The mole:
In this unit, I had a lot of weaknesses. I was not prepared for the transition from easier content to something more difficult and instead of working to understand I neglected my work and decided to avoid asking questions a lot like in the first unit. Math-based work is not something I normally enjoy or thrive in therefore I was not enthusiastic to start this unit. I didn’t use class time and I avoided doing homework at home. This was a big mistake and I can’t blame anyone for my poor unit test mark other than myself. I know that for units like this asking questions is important and checking over my work/completing extra practice is extremely important.
I think my strength in this unit was my collaboration with others. During labs and whiteboard work, I always tried to help others with the content I believed I understood and I made sure to help as much as I could even with my level of understanding.
I really want to improve my mark and I know I will work much harder in this upcoming unit because it was very upsetting to see the marks I’d worked for be brought down because of the negligence I showed my work. I’ll be sure to practice mole and gain a deeper understanding of the units content as it’s necessary for this upcoming unit and I believe I can improve my mark.
