3^RD BLOG - REVIEW – 24/10/2013

Strengths developed:

 

1 Self motivated

Example: I have become more self-motivated which has allowed me to keep on top of my coursework and my assignments. I can self motivate myself even more to drive through any boredom to complete a task.

2 Organised

Example: I have become more organised which allows me to find things quicker than before as I have it organised. I have been sorting out a couple of routines to make sure that College goes as smoothly as possible.

3 Time management

Example: I have improved my time management which has allowed me to arrange for me to fit my work around me getting home to relax. I have been organising myself to fit my College lessons and Personal Directed Study hours so that I don't have to wait long for a bus home in the middle of the day or afternoon.

New strengths

1 IT skills

Example: I have improved my IT skills so that I can use a computer faster and better than before. I have been improving my typing speed so that I can type faster and trying to reduce any typing mistakes or errors that would slow me down to erase the mistake.

2 Efficiency

Example: I have become more efficient so that I can complete my set work as quickly and as thoroughly as I can. I try to think of ideas and what to put in my work as quickly as possible so that I have that idea in my head  so that I know what I'm meant to be writing about even if my brain laspses and I can't think of what exactly to put, at least I know what I am writing about so that I can think about what to put and get back to working as quickly as possible.

Improvements

1 Attention span

Example: I have improved my attention span. This allows me to stay focused for longer when doing work so I can complete as much as possible without getting distracted and losing focus, or when listening to others so that I can understand as much of what they are saying as possible and possibly help them out if I understood enough to give them advice.

2 Shy - confidence

Example: I have improved my confidence so that I can do more things without getting worried or nervous. I can talk at the front of the class while not being as nervous as I used to be which allows me to get the higher marks as I can make better eye contact and speak more clearly.

New areas for improvement

1 Stubborn – closed minded

Example: I can stay focused on an idea without considering any other ideas for a group task.

It is important to improve this skill as that will allow me to consider other ideas.

I will improve this skill by allowing myself to be more open minded.

I will have made some progress on this when I think about every idea put out of there instead of just one. I want to have shown improvements for this by the 13/12/2013.

I will know if it has improved when I am more open minded and can consider other ideas apart from just the one.

 

2 Quiet

Example: When doing group work I can often be quiet when I think that my group can do enough talking to get the job done.

It is important to improve on this skill as my contribution could be helpful so I need to speak more.

I will have made some progress on this when I talk more in groups to help my group out. I want to have shown improvements for this by the 13/12/2013.

I will know if this has improved when I can make a positive contribution to my team or not.
