The end of
the first semester marks the end of the second semester of the IBDP program for
the class of 2014.
As always there are areas I have
improved on and areas that I need to continue improving on. For my study habits
I start working on an assignment the day that it is assigned so I can manage my
time properly but tend
to not ask a lot of questions in class and this is something I could improve
on. Instead of asking questions in class I could make an appointment with a
teacher to meet after class. For my collaboration skills I work fairly well
with my peers as I am I a good listener and I do the tasks assigned accordingly
however My communication skills vary. My communication in writing is very
strong but during oral presentation I tend to stutter a lot because I don’t
like speaking out loud so I could practice doing oral presentation in front of
someone I trust before the actual presentation. Also in TOK it is required to
participate in discussions and I almost never actually do. So for the next year
one of my goals include saying at least one thing in every TOK class. My oral
communication skills are something that I need to address. In subjects like
history I have to be very objective in my thinking because of the topics dealt
with this subject tends to get biased opinions. And the Community and service
project I take part in, RCCI (rehabilitation center of the communication
impaired) made me become more aware of people who don’t have the same
opportunities as us. As for my grades, I
think that I can rise up my grades in all of my subjects because I know that I
have the skills to do that. For my goals for the next semester I would I like
to raise my grades by one level and also address all the areas I could improve on.
