Class Attendance

Attendance
My attendance in class has been fairly good in class. I am the type of person who would only miss class if I really needed to but then feels bad when I do miss class because I think I might miss something important. For this class in particular I have yet to miss a class period, which in my opinion is something to be proud of.

Time Management
When it comes to my time management skill that’s is something I have always been pretty good at. This is one of the good character traits I developed from my mom. I hate being late to things so being on time to all my classes including this one is very important to me. Time management skills are very important when it comes to working in the business industry and trying to get a job. If

I remain quiet when the teacher is speaking. I speak when I am spoken to. When the instructor is asking for opinions and answers to questions I try to answer them to show I am paying attention and doing my reading outside of the classroom. I have never came into the classroom in a bad mood. Despite what I may have going on in I never let it interfere with what is going on in the classroom. Displaying professionalism at all times while as work is very important because it allows the person to learn how to separate business lives and personal lives.

Communication
At some point, I do feel my communication skills could be a little better. The few times we we’re put in groups I would let most of my people in my group do a lot of the talking and just observe. A lot of the times people usually would say what I wanted to say so I didn’t have anything else to say. If I do have something to say though it will be said I just don’t voice my opinion all the time because I feel like it is not needed. Before I do speak within the classroom I do try to have a clear concept of what point I am trying to convey to the rest of my classmates.

At the beginning of the semester when the learning journals first started out my grades were not where they should be. Over time I learned to be more mindful about my grammatical errors and to proof read my journal entries more than one. Now all my entries have been 28/30 or higher. I have also took what I have learned throughout the course and is currently applying it to my final essay. When it comes to completely work on time I feel like I am very consistent with that. I don’t like to turn anything in late because I don’t want to have points taken off and I don’t like to feel like I’m behind in my classes. Your quality of work also ties into your time management skills and how important it is to not wait until the last minute to do something and getting the assignments turned in on time

Participation/Teamwork
Participation and teamwork is very important in any aspect of the business industry. A person cannot consider themselves apart of a team if the are not will to participate in the group activities. At the beginning of the course I can admit that I was not always involved in the groups they would put us in. I was the one who always just spoke less. As time progressed I did get more comfortable with the classroom so I would speak out more in discussions. I would be the one to speak for our entire group at times. Even when nobody else would speak I would try to up to get the class talking.

    I did succeed in making my grades but by the last months of the semester I realize that the stress that came with procrastination wasn’t worth in ad I started working on time management. In high school the words time management are repeated but never really explains. I grew up hating the simple idea of time management, but I have since learned that is means balance. It is easy to think of staying in and doing nothing but studies, but true time management is the balancing the responsibilities you must complete and the things you want to do. This realization has taught me that I can have a “fun” college experience without forgetting the reason I am at a university.…
