Cardmarking 5, Day 1

Here we are a new cardmarking. Tell me how you feel you did in the first cardmarking of the second semester. Where you pleased with your performance? Were you able to truly have pride in the work you were doing? Why or why not? What are your true goals for the 2nd cardmarking of this semester and how will you attain them? You do not have to focus only on this class but as an overall student as well.

I think I did fairly well the first cardmarking of the second semester. I was pleased with my performance because I got what I achieved, an A. Besides 2 mess-ups on grammar/vocab tests, I met all my goals. I do think I could have pride in my work because I know that I am trying hard, but there is always room to try harder. My goals for the second semester are to always try my hardest, and put forth my best effort. But I also want to be able to think more critically about things, and participate in more class discussions. I don't like to be the quiet student who doesn't say much because I think it's kind of akward. I think if I keep up on the road I'm heading on, I'll be happy with myself in the end.

I did good the last cardmarking and was happy with my grade. I think I did all my work up to par and don't think I did any unnecessary work to get a good grade. I tried pretty hard and it worked out well for me in the end. I did good on pretty much everything except for I probably should study for vocab tests. Besides that I think I did a really good job because I got an A. Next term I plan to continue the good grades and get another A.

I was kind of pleased with the grade i got. I am not so good at grasping grammar so i know i probably should have tried a little harder on that portion. I do take pride in the work i do. Language arts has always been one of my favorite subjects. I love that you can be creative and not so much in history. My true goals are to study more on grammar and to get better grades on it. I know its not that hard to study for like ten minutes every day until the quiz but i always forgot or wasn't motivated. I do want to do better in science also because i got a B last card marking and i am not a big fan of B's.

To be completely honest I feel like I was slacking the entire semester. Usually, I get an A in Literature, and this semester, quite frankly, I got lazy. I think that what really brought my grades down were the grammar portions of the vocab quizzes. I guess that I just don't understand all that gibberish about simple sentences and compound-complex sentences. I guess I really can't have pride in my work if I'm not happy with the results. It's so easy to get lazy and slack off during the beginning of the term, but it's so much harder bringing yourself back up. So my goals for this semester is to work harder and to NOT SLACK OFF AT ALL!!!

I think I did pretty good for the first cardmarking of the second semester. I was pleased with my overall grade and with the scores I got on all my work. I was very pleased with my performance. I know I tried my best on everything I did, but theres always more I could have done. I do truly have pride in the work I did because I tried my best for all my work. Since I tried my best, it ended up showing in my scores. My goals for the 2nd cardmarking are to get 100% on all my vocab quizes. I can attain this by making sure I understand how to do all the grammar. Also making sure I know all my vocab. Overall, I just want to try harder for the ending of this year.

I think that I did ok on this report card. In a few classes I did better than usual but in some I did worse. Classes changed becuase of the semester switch so I am trying to get used to the new teachers. Most of my class work I can show pride in there is an occasional miss hap in which I don't do so well. This happens because I'm only human and people make mistakes but if I tried really hard I could cut down on those. My goals for the next cardmarking is to get my low grades up a bit and to keep my higher ones there. This will happen because I am going to try a little harder in my bad classes but also keep trying in my good classes. A good reason for me to get motivated is that for baseball I have to have good grades. Grades are a big factor for the coaches of the baseball team. If I keep trying in school I won't have to worry about baseball.

I dont think i did that well the first cardmarking. I didnt give it my all, i could have done much better then i did. I was not pleases, i know i can do better then what i did. I had some pride in my work but not all of it. With some of my work ididnt give it my all and could have put more time and effort into it. MY goals are to have no missing work and to do better on vocab quizes. I will aaten them by trying harder and studying and putting school first. I was slacking alot and not giving it my all. I am capable of much more then what i have shown. I realize i need to be more focussed and try harder adn not just get it done, but actually do it and while doing it let it sink it and learn it. I would also like to find a new way to study, one that will work and that is effective for me. I need to set my priorities straight and really work at it.

I was sort of pleased with my performance in the first cardmarking. I had pride in some of he work that i did. There was one or two vocab and grammar quizzes i could have done better on, but all of the other quizzes i think i have done well. I liked doing the group project and i think ours turned out really well. My goals for the second card marking is to always read Of Mice and Men when i am supposed too. I will do this by always setting aside time at home to read. Also, i want to keep doing well on my vocab quizzes like i have been doing lately. I will keep studying my vocab so that i can achieve this.

I did shitty this cardmarking and am unhappy. If i wasn't absent for those 3 days i probibly would still have a B in this class but i had to get sick. My goals for this cardmarking is not to be absent and get an A in lit. I will attain these goals by being prepared and not be lazy. Maybe try alittle harder to study for the grammar and vocab quizes. My other grades are fine right now its just that project killed my grade. i do need to work a little more in math an chem tho.

The first cardmarking was great. I think i did very well in this cardmarking. I was pleased with my performance because i accomplished my goal, an A. I was able to truly take pride in my work because i worked hard at everything i accomplished in this class. My true goals for this cardmarking are to get an A and get 100% on all vocab quizes. I will obtain these goals by blogging and studying. I hope to continue getting As in all classes.

This class by far is the class that I am most interested in. Literature just gets to me and I feel like I can relate and understand a lot of what we have been doing. However, I have a few goals for this semester. I will pay more attention to due dates, and I will not procrastinate. I will do each and every blog on time for the fact that I need these simple points and I don't have time to stay after school. If I don't understand something then I will definitely go to the teacher and not anyone else. I will stay awake during class and get more sleep. When I disagree with the teachers opinion, I will speak my mind. I am looking to contribute a lot more to each and every class. I'm looking for a lot of change in myself this semester.

first of i Did better then last card marking in most of my classes. i don't want to say i was pleased with my performance this card marking but i was not disappointed due to the fact i did do better. well like last semester i said i was going to do better.... and i did which makes me happy. now for this card marking i am planning on having my lowest grade a C+ instead of a D and once i do that then i can go for no C's. well in this class i am doing better and i plan to do even better this card marking. but out of all of my classes i need to pick it up in Spanish since that is my lowest class. this is how i think i did on my card marking and what i want to get next.

I wasn't too pleased with my grades this last card marking. With a lot going on in my life outside of school, I really lost focus on it at times. In turn, I didn't truly have pride in my work all the time. My goals for this second card marking is to study more for my tests and quizzes! Outside of school I definitely need to focus on it more and make sure my studying is done before I do anything else. Now that things have calmed down a little more outside of school, I feel that I'll have more time for school work. I will also be able to focus more on my school work.

I think I did pretty well for the first cardmarking of the second semester. I was pleased with my performance. However, I could have done better in some of my classes. I let some of the work slide this time. Yes, I was truely able to have pride in my work I was doing. This is because I had more time to work on projects and homework assignments. Plus I understood more information this time then previous times. My goals is to do better on the grammar side of the friday quiz. I will attain this goal by studying more and asking questions when I do not get the grammar. Also, for this cardmarking I will get a better grade in Spanish. I let that grade slip a little. This cardmarking is going to be ALOT better then the last!

In the first card marking i feel i didn't do my best. My grades slipped a little. i just have a lot of stuff happening so i got distracted. I am truly displeased with my performance and will not let this happen this semester. Well, ill try. I take pride in a lot of the work that i have done. Mostly the big assignments when i really focus. It is the little things that always get me. I tend to get really lazy most of the time.
This marking period i am going to get my head on straight and focus on my grades more. With softball starting i know it will be hard but i am determined to get out of this ice box i call home and make it into a good college that will create a great foundation for a good future. I vow to not get lazy with the little assignments because, obviously, a little can go a long way and do some major damage to ones grade [:

I feel i did very well this term. My goal was to bring up my gpa which was three a's and three b's. I did indeed achieve my goal with four a's and two b's. This term I wish to keep these grades and study harder so that they will not drop. I know this is going to be hard as baseball is just starting and the weather is getting so nice so quick. I hope I don't get too excited for summer and start to slack as I did last year. That's what led me to have to work so hard this year. I hope to keep this stamina not only for the end of this year but for all of next year as well. This will lead me to a bright future and to where I want to end up in life. I don't want to be unsatisfied later on in life knowing I could've tried harder.I hope to attend Full Sail University and take plenty of music classes as I head into Cinematography. You'll be seeing me at the Oscars. I'll thank you when I get my award Mr. Kay for always pushin me and telling the truth.

This past cardmakring went pretty well. I feel like i could have done better in this class, but i messed up on a few of my quizes making stupid mistakes and in the end it took a toll on my overall grade. I was somewhat pleased with my performance but definately feel like i oculd have dont better. For all my classes in general, i feel like i did fairly well. I'm still not where i want to be but i'm getting there. I ended up only have a B+ and a B and the rest being As. I feel like my laziness from freshamn year, and i want my perfect grades again like i had in middle school. My true goals for this second cardmarking are trying to stop my heavy procrastination and laziness and do my homework when i should, and study more often. Its hard for me to motivate my self but i want to start trying harder, and carin gmore.

I think that in the first card marking of the second semester I could have done a bit better. Being as I thought I could have done better then what I did I’m not pleased with my performance. I think that I could have tried quite a bit harder to do things like tern in my homework. I didn’t have very much pride in my work for the first card marking of the second semester. This is partly because I didn’t do a lot of it, and partly because I didn’t try very hard on it. One of my main goals of the 2nd semester is to tern in more of my work. I plan to do this through doing the work, then turning it in hopefully on time.
