Week 2 assignment: One word would be uneasy. This is because I’m aware that high school is a different environment than college. At the moment I feel like I will get to a point where I will feel overwhelmed and not manage time accordingly.
I feel like I tend to overthink after studying and that causes me to forget some of the things I already knew, but what has worked is using flash cards and getting repeated things to me a couple of times either to myself or in class. For the first class I think I was able to clearly understand the first reading and how it connected to the class overall. I do hope I get better at not being too nervous to ask questions when I feel lost.
Excited
– Ive gotten pretty good at studying for math but I’m not so sure about other subjects.
– im definitely worried about paying for college and how it’s going to go.
Hello it is monday
The word that describes how I’m feeling about the class is confident. Reason being its an interesting class and things move smoothly.
The word that describes how I’m feeling about this class is curious, I’m looking forward to seeing what we’ll be learning.
a. Anxious
b. I study best with flash cards and notes. I like to read over notes and summarize them into flash cards.
c. My worry as a freshman is not being able to pass the exams and being on top of school work.
