Course Contract #4

What are you doing well?

I feel that at this point, I did much better keeping up with assignments and staying organized. I felt much better at the end of the semester when I had all of my "required" work completed before the due date.

What are you not doing well?

Though I kept everything organized on paper, I don't personally feel that I kept everything "organized" in my head. Or probably better said, my automaticity on the things that I have learned I feel needs much work. Example, our final test, I studied for it, then I freaked and blacked out on the final. Where as, if I worked on staying and keeping organized mentally, I probably would have felt more comfortable while taking the final.

Are you making sufficient progress on your goals?

I feel that with my overall goals from the start of the semester that I did make sufficient and worthwhile progress. Though, I feel that I am only hitting the tip of the iceberg,

List specific things you need to change in order to meet your goals

As I continue with my education and go on to teaching, I feel it imperative to continue working on the goals that I have imposed on myself. Even retailoring them to other classes and my profession. I need to continue to learn about educational psychology so that I will better understand my students and which stages they are going through and so forth. The better that I understand the psychological mind set of my students, the better I will be able to educate them and help them become more effective learners.
