Assess your progress during the semester. During this semester I feel that I was able to get in touch with some skills I haven’t used in a while so it was helpful to take notice of them again. I don’t think I considered any of my work successful because it was a constant period of learning for me. however, I feel that I could have done better on my essays just because it’s something I haven’t done in a while and I didn’t notice how my writing didn’t correspond with certain topics. I think a skill I picked up was sitting with my thoughts a bit more and dissecting what I’m reading is trying to convey.    

So, the most successful work of the semester is to understand dramas. In the beginning, I was not good at that but as the semester I started reading them, and now I can understand them better. And the thing that I think I can do more good in that is essays. Because I was always good at writing essays and suddenly what happen to me I don’t know. So, I think I could have done more good on the essays. And the other thing is understanding of story “Oedipus the King” As I rate my understanding in that story 5/10 if there are secondary sources of this story I would be able to understand this story more.This class has honed my analytical thinking, research skills, and written communication. I’ve developed attention to detail by adhering to guidelines and precision in my work. Balancing assignments and meeting deadlines has significantly enhanced my time management skills.

My most successful work in this class was the poem flyer. I loved that you gave us the change to choose between an essay or the flyer. I believe that is a great option for the students that are not that good at writing essays. It also lets me show my creativity because I love designing on my computer. Something that I could definitely work on is on my essays, specially in their structure, and the MLA format lol. Something that I learned with this class was to cite sources in my papers that I know I would be doing it as long as I continue to be a student 

So to be completely transparent, I feel in the beginning to the middle of the semester my progress was okay. I struggled a little with quizzes mostly due to rushing because as a single mother of two under seven I never have a clear full alone time to do work(there is always a need to be be fulfilled that my children feel as if its dire). With all of that aside I still feel like I was getting things done. I started to slip off when my youngest child got sick and then my mother got very ill behind her so everything went haywire. I feel my progress in the class reflects that which I can not be angry with because things happens. I am a 80% procrastinator and a person who doesn’t like to ask for help when needed, so I always wait til the last 1-2 days to finish assignments before their due or if I don’t fully understand something I won’t ask for clarification. So I feel like I could have done better with my papers if I would have given myself enough time and ask for help when I did not understand something about an assignment. I feel like I was the most successful when it came to my discussion post because I was able to articulate what I sometimes can not put into words. One thing that I feel like I can take to the real world with me from the class is giving my point of view about things more easily. I feel like these discussion board post help with that for me.
