Trigonometry Essay
1/14/13
During the fall term I took the class Trigonometry with Mrs. Rudolph. Overall, the class wasn’t that hard and I understood the content however, because of my lack of time management and procrastination I failed the class. As a remediation for the final, I have been given the opportunity to pass the class with an independent study. For this independent study I will have to write a 6-page paper that includes the mistakes I made and the lessons I have learned. It will also include the assignments I missed, the lack of my time management, and the goals I have set for myself in the future.
My final grade in Trigonometry for the Fall Term was a 61%. I do not believe this score truly represents my ability. I believe this because I procrastinated and clowned around a lot of the time. For example: I would wait until the day before the test to start studying, I later on learned that this tool is not made for success. Another example: I would joke around with my classmates all the time even when they were trying to work, then I realized this tool is not a good tool for success.
There are many assignments that I failed to complete; Assistment: Probability & Data Analysis Review, Assistment: Unit 1 LT1, Wendy’s Letter, Assistment: Trig Unit 2: LT1, Assistment Unit 2 Quiz, Assistment: Unit 2 LT9 HW, Assistment: Unit 3 LT4 HW, Assistment: Unit 4 Pre Assessment, Parent Signed Grade Report, Unit 4 LT1 LT2 LT3 Notes, Assistment: Reviewing Units 1-3, Part 1 Turned In On Time, Design Challenge - Part 1, Design Challenge - Part 2, Part 2 Turned In On Time, Assistment: Unit 4 Pretest, Unit 4 Pretest Corrections, and Final Assistment HW: Semester Reflection.
Along with incompletions I also had many non-masteries; Unit 1: LT1 - LT4 Quiz, Unit 2 Test, Assistment: Unit 3 Review Quiz, Unit 3 Test, Unit 3 Mastery Project, Unit 5 LT1 Quiz 1, Unit Circle Quiz, Unit 5 Calculator Test, Unit 5 No Calculator Test, Unit 6 Test, Final Exam
