Journal Entry 6

I discovered that I did rush to finish assignments last quarter that I missed. All because I wasn't checking in blackboard for the assignments for that class, so I was missing the assignments.

I found three articles that might help me to avoid the same mistake:
The ABC Daily to-do list = pg. 70
The seven day antiprocrastination plan: = pg. 77
Handle it now: = pg. 86

I intend to make a to-do list, rate each task by priority (when its due most likely), and cross off tasks as I do them.

I also discovered that I have a learning style in technology, and am now think about changing my major in college. Maybe something on computers, because thats what I enjoy doing. What a discovery!!!

Given my preferences for learning, I intend to... Try to be more involved to get some mode 4. I also intend to change my career goals to more my style. Thank you Student Prep!!

This wheel is an accurate picture of my ability as a student because... I do have a hard time with tests sometimes.

My self-evaluation surprises me because... I didn't know I was that high in technology.

The two areas in which I am strongest are... technology & motivation.

The areas in which I want to improve are... tests & planning.

I want to concentrate on improving these areas because... they are both important.

To gain some practical value from this discovery, I will... work on taking better notes before tests.
