Since we are at the beginning of the new semester and everyone gets a fresh start, it is time to reflect on our successes and failures of the first semester.
- Do you feel you received the grade that you earned?
- Do you feel your grade does not accurately reflect the time and effort you put in to the class?
- Since the second semester will move faster with a higher workload, is there anything you need to change to be as successful or more successful than you were in the first semester?
- What are your goals for the new semester?

I feel as if i did earn the grade I have. Whenever i had the chance i would study and put my time into this class and i think i have a 98 because of that. I think i'm gonna have to stop doing all my work last minute and get it done right away. I also think that I need to reduce my talking because sometimes I get lost during class and it hurts me. My goal is probably keeping my grade at a high A, during the whole second semester, I would be quite satisfied with that.
ReplyDeleteThat indeed seems like a wonderful strategy to maintain your grades soaring through the roof!!
DeleteGood job! Keep up the good work!
DeleteWow! A 98 that's incredible. Great job! I hope you keep your high A and also if you don't wait until the last minute to do your work it helps a lot.
DeleteGood job effwwaaannn, i agree to reducing on the talking it is a factor that'll chop fractions of your grade.
Deletenice efrain. keep it up.....
DeleteAtta'boy, Efrain! :')
DeleteThanks guyyyssssssssssssssss =)
Deletegood job keep up the good work!!!
DeletePulling allnighters studying for the test and going over my notes by rewritting them does in fact denote that i deserve the grade made in physics. It does indeed reflect nigts of studing or highlighting my notes. Some things to consider in improving during the second semester is pratcicng new material learned on worksheets or discovering ways to solve the problem in ways I can understand. My goals include to maintain a high A with the help of tutorials and studying all in all this semester will pass by very quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those all nighters suck but in the end benefited you a lot. Isuppose I should do the same as you and take the material we learn and turn it into something I actually understand.
DeleteYou should reconsider those allnighters you need to sleep to have sufficient brain power for your tests but I'm sure rewriting and highlighting helps to study. I know you will work hard to recieve and maintain your high A.
DeleteI agree with Kassandra, pulling all nighters benefit you greatly but then again they aren't a good idea in the long run. Whenever i pull all nighters i fall asleep during other classes which is pretty bad.
DeleteIt's great that you put a lot of effort into the class to make sure you get a great grade and that you pull the all nighters when its neccesary
DeleteI think I got the grade I deserved because at first I wasn't doing so good. I had trouble understanding physics but I rarely saught help, which is a bad thing. When I realized that if I didn't start searching for help I was proably not going to pass the class. So I started staying for after school for tutorials more often and asking friends to help me in things I didn't comprehend. After doing this I defenetly started to improve a little. And although my grade is not a 100 I still feel really good about it cause I know I tried really hard. I suppose my goal for this semester is to not let myself get behind. I have to ask questions about a certain topic I don't understand. And make sure I don't blow of studying for later.
ReplyDeletegood for you : )
DeleteI felt content with the grade I earned because I always turned in my assignments, so the grade is reasonable. Even if I am content, I do not believe my grade does not accurately reflect the time and effort I put in to the class. This semester I plan on increasing my study habits to be more successful than I was in the previous semester. My goal this year is to increase my understanding of the class, so I can get my grade between the 97-100 area. With approximately 4 months of school left, I will not slack off and will give it my best every step of the way!
ReplyDeleteI like your motivation!
DeleteI feel like I could have done better than the grade I received, but I was pleased that it was still an A. I do not believe my grade accurately reflects the time and effort I put in to the class. Well first semester I came to tutorials at least 4 times and I still struggled. For this semester I plan to ask more questions, attend tutorials more often because sometimes I don't understand the problems. Also not wait till the last minute to do my homework because then I forget everything we did in class. My goal is to get my grade back up to that high A. In order to do that I have to do my homework on time so that I do not stress about it and stay up all night the day before class.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need extra help, Saturday tutorials help a lot as well.
DeleteI agree with you I need to stop waiting until the last minute as well. It stresses me out. we need to attend tutorials more often.
DeleteTutorials is a great help! Also the website ms.schramm gave us it helps a lot!
DeleteI worked hard, and hoped for an A, however i earned a B out of not working hard enough. I believe that the grade that i earned properly reflected the effort i put into this class. My biggest issue would be time management, i would hope to dedicate more time in my schedule to studying, and tutorials. My goals would be to be able to exempt the second semester final, and to make an A.
ReplyDeleteI feel like my grade reflected the time i put into studying and I feel like I earned that grade. One thing I can to this semester is doing homework the day we take notes so that I still remember what we went over in class. This semester my goal is to maintain an A.
ReplyDeleteyeah Ashley we need to keep working together so that we can keep that a in class :D
DeleteThat sounds like a great plan, we all do what we can!
DeleteFor the grade i received I'm satisfied, although i slacked off a lot after cross country season ended. And that's the reason why i had a low A after the first cycle. Talking hurt my comprehension of the material, and slowed down the process of mastering the concepts. But a 96 is not bad for my effort, although i could of gotten a higher A. But with a shorter quantity of time for the second semester, i guess ill have to make more of an attempt to master everything as soon as possible in order to get a higher A the second semester.
ReplyDeleteI slacked a little too, we need to stay on track.
DeleteWas that a pun, Thomas? "on track"
DeleteI slacked majorly at the end of the first semester also.
I know I could have done way more to get a better grade. This semester I plan to get more sleep so I won't be extremely sleepy in your class. I plan to study my notes more often and ask for help. My goal is to pass this semester with an A.
ReplyDeleteI also plan to study my notes and not be so sleepy lol
DeleteYea Seconded on the sleeping, averaged out to 4-5 hours of sleep a night.
DeleteThis past semester i could have put more effort on my homework in order to understand what was going on more in class. I also could have tooken better notes in order to go back to my journal and understand better when i was studying fo the semester exam. i think i did get the grade i deserved, but there is always room for improvement.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think thast doing homework is helpful to understand and practice what we learn in class.
DeleteI agree, homework and the notes we take both help us understand what we're learning in class.
Deletei feel like i earned the grade i got. The grade i got for this semester does reflect how much effort i put into the class which wasn't a whole lot because i wasnt satisfied with the grade i received. i need to do my homework i actually did my hw for the first time this week.Im looking forward to at least getting a b or higher.
ReplyDeleteGood job at doing your homework for the first time, that is a great start for this semester. Just keep up that consistency of doing your homework.
DeleteYeah same here, looking forward to getting a higher grade.. :)
DeleteI do feel like I received the grade I earned. Although I could have done better, my laziness and lack of effort did make me get the grade I got. This new semester I plan to do all my homework and to keep up with my assignments. I also plan on having better studying skills that will help me be successful in this class. I plan to at least get an A in this class.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, my laziness kept me from doing better in this class.
DeleteI also plan on not letting my laziness get to me. We should study together (:
Deletei feel you emberth
DeleteI think I did earn the grade I got because when I didn't understand a homework or lesson from the class I would go to tutoring or read my notes. I think I should've done better at studying and paying more attention in class. I'm also one of those people that does their homework at the last minute and that should change big time because it causes me to fall behind. This semester I'm striving for a better grade and studying skills.
ReplyDeletei deserved my grade for sure. wasnt as high because di didnt do what i needed to do. i know theres more work this semester so ima do all my work on time too.! this semester i will get an A
ReplyDeleteI think that I did earn the grade that I recieved because I worked hard to get it. What I need to do is start doing the homework that day you give it to us so that the information can still be fresh in my mind and I continue to study on my own as well with a little study group since it worked last semester. My goal is to maintain an A in the class.
ReplyDeleteYeah imma try to maintain and A in physics too its going to be a little hard but nothing that we cant do.
DeleteI am going to do the same thing. I need to do my homework that knight because sometimes I forget he material.
DeleteI was happy with the grade i got. And i believe the grade i got did reflect the hardwork i do in physics class. I do need to saty on top of things even more this semester, like not forgeting my journal. Also to strive for higher test grades.
ReplyDeleteI see the hard work you put in Alexis ! Keep it up girl .Your capable of anything and i`m going to work on the same thing
DeleteI was not pleased with the grade I received but I feel like that is the grade that I deserved because I haven't been working hard enough and I slacked off. I need to stop procrastinating and seek help when I need it. My goal for this semester is to get higher grades,
ReplyDeleteI was pleased with my grade but I would still like to make it higher. I didnt work as hard as i could have and I slacked off a lot on my homework. During second semester I plan on doing my homework and going to tutorials more often because I think that will help rasise my grade and I will score better in tests. My goals for this semester are to study more, stop procrastinating, and finish all of my homework on time.
ReplyDeleteYou are a super smart girl! You can do it! :)
DeleteYes I got what i deserved yes it does because of what it is.yes I need to change m stud skills. To actually pay attention without falling asleep.
ReplyDeleteThat's great if only my grade was that high :D
ReplyDeleteI think I could have done better if I spent a little more time on studying , but overall I think I did fairly well, however this year I believe I can do a lot better.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I earned the grade I got. I worked hard and that's why I got a high grade. I'm going to study and go to tutorials more. My goal is to pass with an A the last two nine weeks.
ReplyDeleteWell I feel that I got my grade for a reason. I studied sometimes ,but not as hard.Im going to try to study and work harder and harder every day. I know the second semester will be harder.But Ijust have to work and harder like I said before. My goal for this semster is to get an A. I know i can do that . I also have to get more study time ,and go to tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said "I got my grade for a reason" bc it is true, everyone earns their own grade.
Deletei feel like the grade was good it was kinda of what i was aiming for for second semester i know it is going to be harder and at a fast pace and i need to catch up and pay more attention and i need to work on studying better than i kinda of do
ReplyDeleteAnd what was it you were aiming for? Yupper, it is definitely going to be fast sooooo keep up. :) Wish you the best, Scissor!!!! ;)
DeleteI need to pay more attention too :(
DeleteI feel like what I got was the grade I deserved. I should've put more time in to my work and stopped procrastinating. I understand everything were doing I just didn't do all my work. This semester I plan to stop procrastinating and do all my work. I shall go to tutorials if I have to!
ReplyDeleteThis semester I do feel as if I did deserve the grade I recieved. I studied when I had to and when I didn't understand a concept I would review it until I did or asked questions. As long as I pay attention during the lessons I feel as if I will do fine on the work. I hope to keep doing what I'm doing so I can be satisfied with my grade for next semester as well.
ReplyDeleteI believe I did ear the grade I deserve because I tried a lot, I did struggle but I understood the concepts enough to get a reasonable grade on my work. I did my homework when I understood it and came to tutorials a few times. I need to change my procrastination and be able to manage my time better. I will definitely pay better attention. and hope to do better although so far I struggled a little, but I understood with practice. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel as if I did deserve the grade received because I put in the effort and when I didn't understand a topic I would ask one of my group members to explain it, but this semester I plan to reach for a higher grade. This time around I plan to study more and stay after school to do better this semester.
ReplyDeleteI know we all need to study more because the tests are challenging
DeleteI feel that I did deserve the grade that I received. I am happy with it but I do want to get a higher grade this semester. I plan on achieving that goal by bringing what I learned about studying in psychology. I'll do the spacing effect rather than chunking. I will also stay more organized so I wont lose any important papers.
ReplyDeleteI was somewhat satisfied with my grade but I knew i could have gotten that A. I was 2 points away which I was to blame due to my inconsistency with my work. The grade definitely reflects my time and effort because I didn't consistently do my homework at the beginning of the semester. All I need to do for this semester is to do homework consistently. For my goal, I need to make at least a 95.
ReplyDeleteI like where you mentioned the inconsistency of the work. I think we can all relate to that.
DeleteI think I did deserve the grade I got. I would study and try my best so I think my grade showed it. If I want to make my grade get any higher I would have to study and work harder. I will ask questions and if I can I'll go to tutorials to receive a higher grade. Not just in this class, but in my other classes too.
ReplyDeleteI deserve the grade I got. I wasn't truly happy with it but I know that if I had worked harder and studied more I could have gotten a better grade. I will go to tutorials if I don't understand something and do my homework because I didn't really do it in the first semester. My goal is to pay more attention, do the homework on time, and to get a better grade than last semester.
ReplyDeleteI believe I deserved the grade that i received. I am happy with the grade I received first semester. To keep my grade up I need to start studying more before test and ask questions on the homework. My goals for this semester are to get better grades on test and attend to more after school tutorials in order to be as successful as the first semester.
ReplyDeleteMrs.Schramm do your really read all these?? Just wondering.
ReplyDeleteI believe I do deserve the grade i received last semester because I really did work for the grade. However, I probably should work at asking more questions when I am completely lost instead of staring at my paper and hoping the concept just magically makes it way into my brain. I also did not like having 80's on my progress report because it made me freak out, but I manage to pick it up at the last min.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I earned what I received and your teaching skill are fine. I plan to improve on hw by not procrastinating on it
ReplyDeleteI feel that I did earn the grade I received last semester because I rarely did any blogs but did manage to pass tests and complete homework though I didn't spend any time studying. I plan to raise my grade by actually trying to do these blogs and stay after school to better understand any concepts I had trouble with during class. My goal for the new semester is to get a high A, do every blog, and study.
ReplyDeleteI feel you Rolando, I would sometimes forget about the blogs until last minute.
DeleteI didn't get the grade I deserved but I am happy with it. There are people who tried harder than me. This semester, I will try to get glasses or something to help me actually be able to read the board or projector from my seat without having to squint, I might also try to stop doing my work at 2am due to concentration problems.
ReplyDeleteYes, I earned the grade I deserved, I could have dine better. i didn't do as good because all my focus went towards APUSH. This semester i will study more for physics and i will try to not get too distracted in class. the people I worked with this semester are very good classmates and we helped each other when one was stuck, so I'll try to continue working with them. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and my goal for this semester is to get a higher overall grade or at least maintain the one I had.
Deletei believe that i can make the highest grade this semester ima try my hardest to actually pass you in this class.
DeleteI believe that i have received the grade that i earned and i feel that it accurately reflects the time and effort that i put into the class, but i do need to change my homework habits and stop doing everything last minuet. My only two goals for this new semester is to stop putting things off, and to talk less when i should be working.
ReplyDeleteI believe that I got the grade I deserve, I guess any grade I get I deserve cause it reflects how focused or efficiency I have with the assignments :IIIII
ReplyDeleteSomething that I need to change is to stop doing my homework at the last minute.
I've been changing this by doing my homework (from this class and all the others) before the clock hits 7 (and if I don't finish on time, I'll just keep on going), so that I can maximize my free time without worrying about if I finished my hw in time. :P
My goal is to have an overall grade of A for the class :I
I feel that I recieved the grade that I got. I put in the time that I need to take to understand the material that was at hand. The grade that I got does show the time that I put in my work because I would do my homework at home and if I get stuck with something, I would ask a friend on how they did that problem or I would look over my notes to see what do I have to do in order to do a question correctly. I would like to understand more the work that I am doing during the day and understand the notes well enough where I would be able to complete a problem correctly. My goal for the second semester is to get an A on a test.
ReplyDeleteYes I do feel like I earned the grade i deserved and i think it still does reflect on my effort right now.Since we're getting more homework assignments I think I may have to manage my time more efficiently to make sure I get them done. My goals for this semester are just to make sure my grades are good and to get everything i need to get done done.
ReplyDeleteHonestly yes I do agree with the grade I received. I worked hard at the end to put up my grade and i`m so happy I accomplished .Although it was a B I`m very proud of it because at the beginning I was bearly passing. With so much homework I am very overwhelmed but that just means I have to push my self hard and harder each time . I`m going to find a schedule to manage work and school. My goals for this class this semester is to have a High A and i Know its very possible .
ReplyDeleteI think that i did earn my grade. And it does represent the time and effort i put in physics because there were plenty of times where i could have studied, went to tutoring etc. but i failed to use those resources to my benefit. For the next semester i plan to implement these resources. My goal for the next semester to earn no less than an A.
ReplyDeleteGood job Luis, keep up your good work and don't slack off :)!
DeleteMy grade does reflect what i did last semester. I didn't put very much effort into the class and it shows on my grade. This semester I am going to ask for help and try to turn in all my assignments.
ReplyDeleteI feel that I did earn the grade I received. My grade does reflect the time and effort I put in class because the first nine weeks I actually made time to study and second nine weeks I slacked off a bit and my grade shows it. For this semester I will try to study as much as I can, do my homework, and make sure to stay after school if I don't understand something. My goal for this semester is make an A and get a 90 or above on tests.
ReplyDeleteI do feel like I received the grade I deserved & it reflected the effort I have made to keep it at an A. Though since the second semester will be moving faster I should try and finish my work A.S.A.P because I do have trouble getting work done on time. So my goal for the new semester is to procrastinate less and finish my homework the day I get it(so I don't have to worry about it later).
ReplyDelete- i believe that i should of had gotten 100%...ubt yea i think i earned the grade i got
ReplyDelete-the grade sort of does reflect the kind of work i did in that class
- i shall work harder and better than last semester and study more
-my goal is to pass your class with an A+ this semester
I feel as if I did..perhaps it was better than what I actually worked for or thought I'd get..which is great!
ReplyDeleteMy grade does reflect how hard I worked, although I know I could have worked better and more.
I need to change my studying habits and the times in which I get my homework done. I should do my homework at an earlier time instead of doing it the night before.
My goals are to study as much as I can and pass the tests!
The grade I got I did deserve because of my effort in the class and I know I could have done better but I'm ehh about the grade not great but also not really bad
ReplyDeleteI was 1 pt away from getting a 100 in my report card ! & I do believe I deserved it because of the effort I put in it. I can honestly say I was lost at the beginning of some units but all it took was studying in order to understand! It was like a puzzle I just had to put the pieces together & keep practicing I was able to behold the highest grade in the EOC nit by luck but because I took my time to sit down & look over my notes for next semester my goal is only to work harder & get a higher grade
ReplyDeletewoah , you had a really good grade
DeleteI believe that I could've done better, I deserve the grade that I received. Yes I feel that I did put time and effort to my work the best I could.That I could've done better to improve my grade by staying afterschool for tutorials. I need to make more time to stay afterschool to get help, I try to look back at notes but I sometimes need someone to help me understand better. My goals for this semester is to make more time to stay afterschool and to try ask more questions if needed.
ReplyDeletei believe i earned my grade for the first semester because even though i wasn't a master at everything we did i still really tried to learn it & do it. Even though i didn't do so well i still made up for that. For second semester i need to make sure i don't slack off which sadly i have in this class.
ReplyDeleteThe grade i received in first semester was a fair grade I did asked a lot of questions during the semester, so that must be something i have to do once again during second semester. i occasionally sleep in class, so i will try my hardest to keep my eyes open during class. Also i'm hoping to work as hard to achieve another A for second semester.
ReplyDeleteI believe i have earned the grade that was given to me because a grade isnt given out just because... Whether my grade was bad or not i think i earned that grade from the work that i have handed in. If i continue studying than i believe my grade shall increase. i hope by the next report card i can accomplish a better grade!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great goal to try to be better than you were before.
DeleteI feel like I received the grade I deserved. I will have to manage my time more wisely to be more successful. My goal is to get a 98%
ReplyDelete
