Re-Testing
This week in chemistry, my struggle was staying focused during lectures and interacting with the lesson. I had a surface understanding of some of the notations because I was not as on task in class. To help this, I am going to make sure I am focused and hold myself accountable for my attentiveness.
My struggle this week has been trying to give myself enough time to study for the chemistry test. To fix this, I know I need to start studying now so I can make a good grade on my test. I will stay focus and make sure I know the material.
This week I struggled with understanding deviant behavior. I went to the help session this morning and it really helped me. I plan to work on this on my own so that I can continue to get better at this.
Something I struggle with in chemistry is motivation. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of work all at once. To overcome this I am time managing so that I don’t have to do it all at once and I can make it easier on myself to do it in small portions.
This week I have struggled with staying on track with my work. A way I can help myself with this issue is by not procrastinating.
My struggle this week has been trying to lock back in and finish the year on a good note. I have struggled to take good notes that will help me on tests going forward. today however I feel I did well locking in and getting on the right track.
My struggle this week has been making good grades an finishing the year on a good note. I have struggled taking good notes so that I have good material to study. Today however I did well taking notes and locking in.
S- This week in chemistry I struggled to memorize all of the different blocks on the periodic table. I order to fix this, I payed attention in class and tried my best to participate and learn it instead of just watching.
This week i have struggled with memorizing the quantum numbers and their relationship with atomic structures. To fix this i will study extra hard on this subject instead of just leaving it alone.
this week i struggled by taking notes that would help me study for the test today. Although i have not taken good notes i have went back and watched the vodcast, practiced the tpc, and studied the need to know sheet on the website to hopefully do well on my test and finish the year off with a passing grade
I struggled a lot last night with learning Graham’s law and understanding how to convert the formula to find a specific part. So, I did practice problems until I finally understood the concept.
I feel like I struggled with the TPC section on quantum numbers. We had studied and reviewed about quantum numbers long enough for me to forget most of what they entailed, limiting me from knowing which correct answer was truly correct. If there is any chance the quantum numbers will appear on the exam, I will review them and study them until I am confident in my skill and application.
I feel like I struggled with the quantum numbers on the test and on the TPC homework. I did not really understand the rules and purposes they filled within nucleuses and electrons. If they appear again on the exam, I will make sure to be ready for them.
This week I struggled with focusing on the things going on in class. But I have gone back and watched the videos to help me get a better understanding.
This week I believe I struggled on learning how to find the noble gas notation of an element. To fix this I went to a help session and asked to work on the problems which helped me grasp better understanding of noble gas notation.
I did not study to my standards for this test. Usually, I spend at least 7 hours stretched across 2 days, maybe 3, but I tried to cram for this test. Fighting some of the stress from that whole mess was definitely a struggle for part of this week. As for trying to do better, I’m setting a studying deadline for important tests- at least 2 hours two days before the test and then whatever cramming is necessary (start small).
This week i struggled staying strong an ending the year well. To fix this this week I payed attention well in class, took great notes, and prepped for the test. To hopefully do good on the test.
this week i have struggled with paying attention in class sometimes and i forgot to do my tpc assignment but to fix this i studied for my test and will do all my assignments to end the year.
This week I struggled with staying focused the first few days, but I took good notes so I could create one of my better study guides which helped me learn the material very well for the test today.
This week I struggled with taking notes that would help me study for today’s test. Even though I did not take the best notes, I went back and watched the vodcast, practiced the TPC, and studied the “Need to Know” sheet on the website so I could hopefully do well on my test and finish the year with a passing grade.
This week I struggled staying focused in class but I also did take some good notes at points. I need to start watching the vodcasts every day to do better at learning the material
This week I struggled on wanting to give up because school is almost over. For the grade I desire I’ve started to realize I need to give it full effort, and close out strong.
Something I struggle with in chemistry is motivation. Sometimes it feels like there is a lot of work all at once.
1. I learned to follow instructions exactly and to the detail. I learned that I can push myself.
2. To not put things off until the last minute and to get ahead.
3. I think less note taking and more application to the things we learn in class.
1) How did chemistry grow you? What did you learn about yourself?
While in chemistry, I learned that I am indeed smarter than I give myself credit for and I grew in how I take notes in a way that allow me to study.
2) What advice do you have for future chemistry students?
My advice for future chemistry students is to NEVER forget your web posts (they really do save your grade) and to ask for help when you need it but may not want it.
3) What could we have done different this year that would have helped you learn chemistry better?
Something we could have done differently this year that would have helped me learn chemistry better is when we are reviewing the math or converting type problems is to make us respond more.
I learned how to follow directions and be more responsible with my work. I learned that I procrastinate a lot more than I thought. Learn how to manage your time well. I think giving some good studying advice wouldve helped.
1 – Chemistry helped me grow by instead of trying to do work by myself, I can go to God when things get hard or when I don’t know how to do something. I learned that I am really bad at procrastinating and I can do hard things if I put my mind to it.
2 – Do not procrastinate and when something is assigned do it early, and make sure to ask questions.
3 – I think could have learned better ways to study and help us engage in class more and that would’ve helped me learn chemistry better.
1) Throughout chemistry I was academically stretched. It grew me by pushing me harder than most classes. Through chemistry I learned methods about learning, and how I learn best not by using quizlets, but by producing someone out of the material like notecards.
2) My advice for future chemistry students is to pay attention well in class, so that studying becomes easier. When studying feels easier you’ll do better on tests.
3) Ask more questions in class. To keep you engaged in the lesson.
In chemistry I learned that need to stop procrastinating and study more. I would tell future chemistry students to take good notes and study them well. Showing us how to study our notes so that they could most efficiently help on the tests would have helped.
1. Chemistry grew my application skills the most and taught me how I could figure out problems out on my own. I also learned that quizlets are not the best way to learn at all.
2. To always prepare early and study hard. Make things fun to remember and always read the instructions twice.
3. I think if you asked us more questions and made us say more we would have learned a bit more.
Chemestry helped me realize that i can do very hard things If i put time and effort into them. Advice that i would give to future chemistry student is to work on the projects over a longer period of time rather than wait until the last few days. I think if i would have studied a little more for the test my grade would hgave been higher.
1) Chemistry taught me to think more carefully and be patient when solving problems and also to apply everything we learn. I learned that practice helps me understand hard topics.
2) Stay caught up, practice often, and ask questions when you are confused. Also, the chemistry project isn’t that bad if you stay on top of it.
3) More review, practice problems, and writing down problems would have helped me learn better.
1- Chemistry helped me grow to not procrastinate and stay on top of my work. I learned that I need to set aside time to study and just use my time wisely.
2- Use your time wisely, don’t just listen in the lecture learn, talk, and answer questions it will help you.
3- Ask us more questions, learn how to apply things better for the test.
Chemistry has grown me by pushing myself more than I thought that I could go. I learned that everyone has there different strengths and that everyone cant always be good at everything. Advice I would give is pay attention and don’t get behind. I wish I had taken better notes and studied harder.
1: Chemistry made me realize how important it is to apply learned skills to everything that we do, in order to create a proper understanding of our situation for everyone involved. I learned that while may not be an expert in the science field, I definitely learned more about myself, such as how I react to problems, or how I come up with solutions for them.
2: For any future chemistry students, don’t stress about the chemistry project all year long. When it comes, work on it daily and don’t get behind. Make sure to always do your web post and follow Mrs. Skinner’s instructions, rather than your own instructions.
3: I feel I could’ve grasped some of the chemistry lessons better if more examples on the whiteboard were displayed and worked out step by step. I usually learn by memorization, so seeing the procedure done multiple times would help drill it into my brain better, as well as me doing the same problem with the same process multiple times.
1. Chemistry has helped me stop being lazy about my work in school. I learned that i need to stay on top of all my work, so i don’t have to stress about school so much.
2. don’t procrastinate, Interact in class, and always do the web post every friday.
3. doing my homework, study harder for the tests.
1. Chemistry helped me grow by showing me how to time manage because of all the work I had to do for it. Chemistry helped me learn how hard I can work and the amount of effort I can actually put in.
2. My advice for future chemistry students is do your homework and web post!! It pays off.
3. More application problems in class to practice.
1. Chemistry helped me learn how to study effectively and I learned how I can study to where I remember the information.
2. Check your syllabus and don’t procrastinate.
3. Nothing I think it was great.
