Engagement Journal.. long time no see :D

What engagement grade do I deserve?

I think I would give myself a full 2 points for being a community contributor. During classes and independent learning periods, I answer my classmates' questions on classwork and homework. I think I am also a good partner to be with in group work assignments. When I am in a group working on an assignment, I always try my best and concentrate on the work at hand. I think this helps my teammates and is a way of contributing to the community.

As for a critical thinker and problem solver, I would give myself 1.5 points. I'm not confident to say that I can think critically, but when I face a problem in class, I always try to solve it no matter how hard it seemed. One good example was the ramp challenge that we did recently. I was really freaked out in the beginning, but then I challenged myself to think critically with out panicking or asking for a easier way.

I would be most confident in giving myself 2 points for being an active learner. I am very interested in physics. I constantly pay attention in class. Even at home, I talk to my dad about what we've learned, and he would tell me even more about it.

As an effective communicator I would give myself 2 points. When I wish to communicate something, I wouldn't hesitate. I'm not afraid of communicating and saying things in front of the class, and I believe that usually what I'm trying to say gets through to others.

As for being a person of high character, I would give myself a 2. I've never used the computer for reasons other than class in physics class, and I try my best to be on time for class. I am always attentive (being so interested in physics). I try before I give up, and one good example was the ramp challenge which I mentioned earlier.

Over ally I think I was pretty engaged in physics class this semester..

I agree with your grading. You are always helping me with physics when I need help, even outside of class. And during class discussions, almost all the time, you speak up and voice your opinion.

:) accurate grading :)

Connie, you are doing a great job in class. Keep up the good work. I would like to see you contribute more to the entire community, not just parts. I also would like to see you speak up more in class and share your ideas and interest in physics.
