Reflection Writing Prompt:

Next, in 8 to 10 sentences (one very well-developed and detailed paragraph), explain how your performance in
each of the areas above have contributed to or hindered your ability to meet your goals. Also, explain how you
will use this information to improve your academic performance for the remainder of the year. If you feel stuck
and would like to see a paragraph outline and example, c lick here.
My goal in AP Calculus for the fall semester of this school year was to pass the class with an A. Overall, I was
unsuccessful in reaching this goal because of weaknesses regarding my effort and growth mindset.. I struggled primarily
with quizzes because I hardly studied and did not understand it all. Additionally, I have sometimes made poor choices
during class time such as talking to friends and zoning out, and this has kept me from acing my tests. Although I struggled
with study skills this year, I have also been successful with organization and preparation. I have always come to school
with a charged laptop, and I have consistently kept my backpack and notebooks well-organized. Additionally, I have used
Google Classroom to keep up with my assignments. In most cases, these organizational habits have helped me to
succeed in major project and classwork assignments, and I believe that my math skills have improved. My S.M.A.R.T. goal
for the spring semester of this school year is pass the AP test in time of May 9th. I plan to study within the school and
outside of school in order to gain the additional knowledge to pass the test with a 3 or higher. I will also set reminders on
my phone and begin using my planner every day so that I can keep track of my schedule and test dates. In order to
overcome my weakness in using resources inappropriately during class, I will try to focus and take notes during class even
if the class is extremely hard. My hope for the future is that I will be able to complete AP Calculus to be well
knowledgeable for my business degree. I know that managers need to have knowledge of math in order to manage a
business, so it is my hope that by following this plan for AP Calculus will be able to take one step closer to my dream.
