Some biology notes on cellular respiration!! My teacher has a color coding method for in class note taking, so when I rewrite my notes I copy the colors as well. That’s why it’s so colorful! I thought this topic was super difficult, but I got the best grade in my class on the exam after many rigorous hours of studying ;)

This year in biology I feel that my grade in the class accurately describes my understanding of the material. I currently have an 83% in the class, and as far as the material goes, I am understanding the key concepts, but have not yet mastered them. My performance on quizzes and tests is decent, but I want to do better. I have come away with B’s and C’s. To to do better on quizzes and tests, I need to study longer and put more time into my notes. My handwriting has been sloppy and hard to read lately. If I just take a little bit more time to organize my notes, I believe I can score higher and learn more. My homework habits are decent. I complete all of the homework assigned, but should put forth more effort. I am challenged with the homework and sometimes do not know how to answer a question on a learning target. In class, I am not totally comfortable with the material. I often have questions, but I get the jest of the lessons Mr. Jodelka is teaching. I enjoyed the ecology unit the most because we got outside so much and a lot of hands-on learning which gave me a good understanding of what we were learning. I feel that I am performing well, but not great. I have never been completely science-minded and struggle from time to time. To be successful, I write down everything Mr. Jodelka writes on the board and displays on the projector, I complete all of the homework and I ask questions when I am unsure. All in all, I feel I have a good grasp on what we are learning, but not a complete understanding. To get the better understanding I need, I should put more time into studying and try to complete the homework more thoroughly.
