Transcript My grades throughout high school have been average. I’m mostly at B or C student. As a freshman I got average grades due to the fact that I still had 3 more years to better them. As sophomore and junior year came along I maintained the same grades. Now that I’m a senior I realized the importance of having good grades, and am working on having better than average. Attendance My attendance as a freshman was very good due to the fact that I was more patient to being in class, and I mostly understood the material.

    I am determined to have a perfect attendance when it comes to my college classes. Keeping a balanced attendance allows me to be up to date with assignments and set an excellent example of myself. Participating in class activities like writing on the board or reading aloud examples, was not my one of my biggest strong suits. Although I spoke out in my assigned groups, which brought a lot more attention to myself, I did not openly speak out in front of the whole class and volunteer myself. This is a certain area that I need to improve on. Although I did not speak out as openly as I should, I always came fully prepared. Being prepared and organized helped keep everything I needed together so I could perform at my fullest potential. In addition, I made sure to create reminders on my phone notifying what I would need, when to work on a certain assignment for the class, and especially for my conferences with Dr. Kennedy (refer to page 3). For my future classes, I will continue to have perfect attendance, be organized, and practice my writing. In time, I will become better at speaking out in

    During 8th grade, I got called out to the counselor’s office. Entering the counselor’s office, the counselor told me that I was in the honors class.

  • Compare and Contrast High School versus College

    351 Words  | 1 Pages

    Teachers in college for the most part don't really care whether or not you are in class. All it means is that if you are not there, you are going to get a failing grade if it happens too often. Missing too many classes will cause the teacher to withdraw you from the class, resulting in a failing grade. If you do it the smart way you would withdraw from the class yourself because then it would have no negative effect on your overall G.P.A. In high school the teachers are always on you about attendance. If you miss too many days you can fail. If you are not in class they want to know why. They also want a note from your parents excusing you from class. Some schools even want your parents to call you in sick if you are not going to be there. If you do not have a note they can write you up for an unauthorized absence and, give you a detention.

  • Did I Really Excel?

    550 Words  | 2 Pages

    Success in a school subject can be measured in two ways. One way being based on grades-a higher grade equals higher success in that subject. The other way being based on understanding-if the material is understood the student is successful. The two are usually related in that a student receives a high grade because they understood the material, but this does not necessarily have to be true. A student can learn the material well enough to pass a test with an A and she is considered to have excelled when she may not even fully understand the material. Additionally, there is always a way to cheat- an option that has never been chosen by myself. I have earned A's all of my classes since the beginning of my freshmen year in high school. I am told by all of my teachers that I excel. But I only believe that some of them are right.

  • Should Class Attendance Be Optional to University Students?

    999 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mandatory attendance policy does not really enhance students' school performance as it's usually expected. Some teachers and schools believe students would study better if they come to class regularly. They argue that all lessons in text books should be explained, discussions should be held with full class. If students do not come to class, they would study nothing or make no progress. Some even think of students as lazy creatures who play truant to do everything they like but homework or assigned reading, so they take roll-call to ensure that all students come to class and work with them. What i can say is that attending class regularly does not mean you will have better understanding or performance. Some students sometimes miss class but they still study well. That's because there are some lessons they can study by themselves at home without spending too much time as those who study in class. On the other hand, so...

  • Tardiness And Absenteeism

    1716 Words  | 4 Pages

    Attendance is a crucial aspect of a student’s education. When a student is tardy or absent, this interferes with them receiving the information given in class. Class introductions that include instructions, objectives, due dates, etc. may be missed if a student is tardy and if a student is absent, they may also get behind on their class work and homework. Communication between teacher and students about the classroom management procedures for these two things are important so that students are informed and are able to take the initiative to gather what they have missed which can help avoid them falling behind. If tardies and absences are frequent, a teacher may begin to be concerned and question what could be the possible reasons behind it, whether that be an outside force in a student’s life or something that may be happening in the teacher’s own classroom. Establishing a relationship and reflecting upon oneself as a teacher to why the class might be having
