Mid-Term Assessment: are you staying on course?

Expectations
So far college has met my expectations. I knew there would be lots of information gathered in small amounts of time and expected the course load to reflect this. I gotten some help from study groups but more from SI and I’ve learned how to study efficiently. Though one thing that was expected but still surprised me was the pace that I would learn things in class. Kids always hear from college age people that it’s fast and can be easy to fall behind and I believed them, so I was mostly anxious but prepared. Overall I have met my intentions of how I would be doing with studying and grades but I could do a lot better.

Classes: attendance, homework, and Grades
Considering each of my classes they are back to back so I don’t have a problem with attendance. I have only missed two classes; once in Biology because I overslept and once in Psychology, (but I can’t remember why). I think by skipping a class you’re only hurting yourself and your wallet possibly. I am always thinking of this which helps me get over the hump and go to class. Since I am enjoying my classes I think I’m doing well in attention. Unless I’ve had a restless night I am always awake and paying attention to my professors. In my reading for my classes I’m not doing as well as I should be. Textbook reading has always been tough for me and Psychology and Biology have proven to be the most difficult. It takes longer to get through because I like to simplify the text as much as possible so I know I understand. In Women’s Studies and English the reading is much more relaxed and explained. I always do my homework but my personal study time is sometimes compromised because of my roommate, but most of the time I use the dorms study rooms so I have quiet. The same goes for test prep; it goes well so long as I have a quiet place and somewhere to write things down over and over again.
So far I have all B’s and up in my classes. I’m so proud of myself and am glad to do the hard work and have it show in my grades. I feel I’m doing much
