Course Contract Review #2

1. What are you doing well?

Again the only thing that I seem to be doing well is showing up to class and participating. I do pay attention and take notes.

2. What are you not doing well?

This second test was brutal on me. I have never successfully passed a test in the testing center. I should have talked to yo about that sooner but I honestly thought that I would do alright. However after the test I realized that I had forgotten to do a very important study guide. I couldn't figure out why there was no mention of Vygotsky in the study guides. It was because I had mistakenly forgotten the Cognitive Development study guide. At least I know this now and can prepare for the final much better.

3. Are you making sufficient progress on you goals?

No, I feel that I have all but given up on my goals and am just trying to keep my head above water. For some reason this semester just isn't my semester. I usually get A's but this semester I am just trying to pass.

4. List specific things that you need to change in order to meet your goals.

1. I think that first and for most I need to work on my self-efficacy.
2. I need to make sure that all assignments are turned in.
3. I need to make sure that when studying for the final that all my study guides are done.

5. How is your motivation? Are you focusing on mastery or performance goals? Does anything need to change?

My motivation, like I have already mentioned in not doing good. I love being in class, and I do learn a lot, however, once I leave class my motivation goes down the toilet and I am overcome by the want to go play in the sun. I have moved towards focusing on performance goals. Yes, something does need to change and that is mainly my motivation.
