This semester in class I feel my most successfull assignment was a essay I wrote in which my letter grade was 85%. I feel as though I captured the instructions properly and was very organized in the assignment. I included mostly correct formatting and all that was asked and my grammer was correct. In general I feel I could have done better on my exams and essays. I tend to struggle on essays as I second guess myself and should have always went with the first answer I thought was correct. I learned the hard way time and time again until eventually having a few decent exams. I learned this semester the importance of keeeping balance and not giving up. There were times I felt as if I would never get through class or get my work done. I learned more about formatting although I am having some issues with my files and uploading. I am still learning to correct that before going into my next set of classes. I have learned to keep trying and going even when I think I will fail. I am grateful that I have done so. Things are not always perfect and can be acheivable.

Heather, I love what you say at the end of your post about perfection. No one is perfect, no work is perfect (which is why I do not give grades of 100%), and I certainly do not expect perfection. But what I do value is when students care enough to read reviews of their work, as you have, and submit thoughtful revisions. As you say. things are achievable, but you have to hang in their and keep trying to improve rather than to be perfect.
