Final engagement

Active Learner - 1.7
Usually when I dont' understand something and am completely lost, I try to find out how to solve it. I don't do that all the time though. For example, if everyone gets what the teacher is saying, but I don't, I usually don't stop and ask the teacher to explain again. I'd ask after class, or something. But most people have seen that on some days when my thoughts are somewhere else, I 'm not as active.

Critical Thinker/Problem Solver- 2
I think on most occasions, I try to think up of ways to solve something. When one method doesn't work, I'll get a bit annoyed, but wont give up right there and then. I know that if there's a problem, there's an answer, and I'll do what needs to be done to get that answer.

Community Contributor -1.7
Part of this if not disrupting the class, during work time and when the teacher is trying to teach the class something new. As far as I know, I haven't disrupted the class in any way. When a classmate needs help with something or they don't quite understand something, I explain it to them the best that I can. I didn't give myself a 2 because sometimes during discussions, when I'm not too interested in the topic or if there are other thoughts bothering me, I don't add anything much.

Effective Communicator - 1.8
In all my work (homework assignments, group work, projects) I think I effectively show what I know and communicate across the information that I need to. When I have problems with something, I explain what I don't know so that the teacher can help me. When I add something in class, I know what I'm saying and make sure that people will understand what I'm saying.

Person of High Character - 1.4
Although I complete my work on time, not fool around in class, and do everything to the best of my abilities, I gave myself a 1.4 here because I admit that I don't pay attention in class all the time. But when the homework comes, I understand it all. Other people who see me not being very attentive and follow what I do may not be as good in their homework. I don't think it's fair for them that just because I know what I'm doing doesn't mean I don't have to try as hard as they do. Therefore that 1.4 stands as my mark for a person of high character.

because i was in your group i can back you up that you were a effective communicator because we never had a argument and that you were responsible and helped to to understand the math. I agree that you always do your work and i rarley see you talking in class to others, but maybe thats cause you rarely talk at all

i agree with both what you and terence say about yourself.

uhh, yes i don't often see you talk in science, but i know that you are a great help in explaining things to me and im glad to have you around.

i know you are responsible for you homework and tests, which makes up for the rare spacing out of your mind :)

This was a very honest and fair assessment of yourself which I believe shows a lot of character.
