Reflection - Section 11 - Test #4 - Dec. 3
Discuss your thoughts regarding preparing and completing Test #4.
Test #4 is my most favorite test. I feel confident that I did pretty okay on the essay. Since this test was a take home test I had all the time in my hands to finish this paper. Although i procrastinated a little on this test, I'm glad i finished it. I prepared the test by researching and learning more about my topic.
I also agree that this is by far my favorites test. I took a lot of time and thought in this assignment and believe that my work will show that. I also appreciated all the other presentations today. Everyone did a good job today.
I took a lot of time doing research for this essay. I actually became very interested in the topic i choose. The presentations were all interesting. It showed that the whole class took time out to do some serious research for their essays.
I didn't look at this essay as something I just had to get done like most of my essays. Instead, I saw it more as a learning opportunity towards my topic. So I enjoyed the researching from the get-go!
This test was the best test ever. For the first time I was actually comfortable writing an essay for a test. i did not feel rushed like i usually do when we take test in class. I also enjoyed listening to the different topics and interesting points they wrote about in their essay.
You did a good job on your essay even if you read just a part of it. I can tell you were very confident in what you wrote, learned and understood your topic! I agree, listening to the other topics was quite interesting.
I liked how test4 was take home because I would have not remembered all those supporting details I've researched. My preparation was rather inadequate and I believe it shows in my essay. Despite that, the research I did really helped me get a clear understanding about the American and Canadian health care system. That's part of the reason why I decided to write about this topic.
Today's test was really exciting for me. The reason why is because we were able to share our essay topics. I felt really confident about my essay, and I liked how it was a take home test. I really got to research many things for my topic. I really liked how my classmates read their individuals essays. I really learned many things from there topic.
I feel as though I gathered enough information and prepared for Test #4. I wanted to challenge myself by trying to practice how I did this kind of test in high school and to see if I could still do it. I think I did alright. My outline and clustering seemed to make sense and so I was able to write my final draft. Hearing everyone's topic and a few highlights were quite interesting, especially on the topic of texting while driving!
I agree. Everyones topic that was shared throughout class was interesting. Especially the one about marijuana being legalized to a certain extent. I hope you did great on your test.
The test today was fair since it was a take home test. We got to do our essays ahead of time and have as much research as we could have outside the classroom. Time being unlimited was also a big help. Hope I did alright. It was nice hearing what everyone had to write about. Today was interesting!
It was very fair, although there was some sort of confusion with others thinking that we would be able to turn in our essays the following meet up. But it's alright. Everyone seemed to be confident with their test papers.
Test #4 was good. Even if I did not do it at home I did do research and I found it easy to write about it since it was an interesting topic to me. I hope I did well, I can't tell if i did good or not since I've always thought i did good but i have never done so great.
Test four was definitely my favorite test. I am really bad at writing essays when I'm timed, but since we were given a good amount of time to finish the essay, I am pretty confident that I did okay. It was also an interesting class session because we got to hear our classmates' opinions and arguments they used in their essays.
It's my favorite test too, although I somewhat procrastinated the day that I saw you at my work. Overall, everything turned out great and I am glad that everyone felt confident turning in test papers.
Test #4 was really interesting because I dug down deep into my topic. Also, I enjoyed test #4 because it gave us enough time to do our research and was easy to turn in the day of the test. I'm pretty confident I did great on this test. Hopefully it's not the other way around.
This was by far the best test. It gave me the opportunity to perform and complete the assignment in a calm and comfortable environment. I love typing my essays because it gives me a chance to write my thoughts on the paper the moment I think of them. When manually writing I find that although I can think of the perfect sentences they often slip my mind before I am able to write them down.
I liked it because i picked a good topic and it was good to write about. I knew of the subject so writing was easier. Overall i think all the essays that we have learned will help us in the future assignment.
Test #4 being a take home test really helped me out. I wouldn't have that much confidence writing that paper in class. I really enjoyed my topic, as well. I learned a lot from writing my paper and I will definitely not being using a cell phone on the road anymore. If I really need to use it, I will be pulling over in a safe area.
I learned a lot through my research paper, especially the differences between Canada and US healthcare system. I knew it was very different because my mom is British so she finds it very hard when she have to take us to the hospital. After doing more research on the healthcare system, I prefer Canadian system better because their government take care all of their citizen.
