Course Contract Review #3

1. What are you doing well?

I am finally on top of the assignments and dates and such. So I feel like I am on par with the schedule. Finally. So glad that the assignment inventory is turned in for better or for worse.
2. What are you not doing well?

I am just not making the time to go through the supplementary materials you have given us on the course website. This is ridiculous of me. I need the supplemental material to make sure I understand the concepts in order to take the tests, do the assignments, and begin the preparation for praxis III.
3. Are you making sufficient progress on your goals?

I do feel like I am understanding application in the classroom (now let’s see if I can maintain these ideals when I actually finally get there). I am working on self regulation but I find that when my life turns insane (as it always does) I go back to my old bad habits and they are bad habits). I am not spending any time at all in preparation for Praxis. I started out creating online flashcards for the future and have sense dropped it all together. Ridiculous.
4. List specific things you need to change in order to meet your goals.

I need to catch up on my Praxis study. If I keep it up now it won't be as horrid come later. I know that my Christmas break will be fully spent in catching up when really I'd like the down time with my kids. I also need to not allow myself to let go better study tactics. I have to exercise before I sit down (especially if reading is involved). I also have found I learn better in the mornings around 9-11am. I get more done and I comprehend and retain the material in such a way as I cannot otherwise. The hard part is my three year old. Such is life.
