Class Evaluation

Class Evaluation

     In the first semester of exploring computer science we were using computers everyday which helped my typing skills. I like when we would post on our blogger we would use examples to better ourselves in the real world. For example when we used the 7 habits. I used all the information to better myself in the real world.

     Although there are many things I liked about the class I also disliked some things as well. It's not the material it's how long we spend on doing one objective. I also dislike that we did the same things every day because then, it became repetitive. 

     Mr.Haymore you should try new things and don't be so repetitive. For example the video are very interesting you should keep on implementing them. I would also like some hands on work like scratch towards the was great.

     The highlight of the class was I should always be responsible and not slack off just because it's the end of the semester. The flash card machine grade really just woke me up again because I got 50 out 100

     I tried my best in class and the grade shows that because I have an A in the class.Although I had some mishaps I still held my own in the end of the semester. I also did all of my assignments so I was very responsible in doing all of what was ask of me. 

     I am and will continue on with my life planning goals journal because its a way to my life. The life planning journal will always help me later in life because then I will set new goals 

     I am committed to being a ctr person everyday of my life because you live better knowing that you are choosing the right. I always will choose the right even if others are against me.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Reflection

Reflection 

The 7 habits have been change the way I think in different perspectives. I have been using all the 7 habits. If it's, be proactive, begin with an end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand then to be understood, synergize, or sharpening the saw. I was in the midst of doing my college application and when I started to do it all I remember was how can apply the 7 habits to my college application. I was being proactive when I was seeking out for information about colleges. This took a lot of time and effort, but I was on task and proactive so I finished with time to spare. I began with end mind because I knew I was doing my college plan, I wanted to apply to college. As of right now I am very anxious because I want to be accepted and that's thinking with a win win mentally. In doing this I got a lot of advice from teachers and counselors, so much that I could've help others on their college application, and that was seek to understand, then to be understood. I was also working with teachers as a team to finish my applications. I was also sharpening the sword when I was doing my application with my teachers and counselor. The 7 habits have taught me new methods on how to expand my knowledge.   

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Sharpen the Saw)

Sharpen the saw

Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

What I think this metaphor means is to practice. If you practice everyday then you'll be more experience that's what is means by sharpening the saw. It can be by any four social/emotional, spiritual, mental, or physical. Here is a physical example, if I practice everyday in soccer than more likely than not I will be better. By practicing it will increase my production on the field. I like this example on sports, but you can use it in education. Like when you're studying for that final exam, so you study all night. By studying all night you are sharpening the saw for the exam you are about to take. This is a great example because it shows how you can sharpen the saw physical or mentally. Spiritual example can be you studying your religion so you can be at peace with GOD. Another way to sharpen the saw socially and emotionally can be by helping out other so your emotions and their emotions are at peace. Theses examples are great because it shows you how to use them in the real world. 

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Synergize)

Synergize 

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It also means to be open minded and work as a team to work on solution to problems. This word is quite new to me never heard of it, but know that I have done some research its very important to be synergize. An example of synergize is any type of team. Every team has to be open minded towards new ideas and they also have to work as a team. This is a great example because are only as good as their worst player. By getting the others involved will help them grow to better players. I did not know what this word meant before, but now that I know it I want to use it my everyday life. This mentality of being synergize will my trait of being a leader. I would like that leader trait to be the strongest. Me being the leader will allow me to control my own destiny. I want the keys to the car and ride waves of reality. 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Seek first to understand, then to be understood)

Seek first to understand, then to be understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

What I think this means is, you should be good listener and learn what things are about before you start teaching other people. This is a great message because it shows how you should learn to be taught before teaching. I could remember a time when my coach told the whole team and said " I know you can play, anyone can play. It's a matter if you can understand the process". In many ways I seek first to understand when I am at school learning how to do something like an essay. Now that I know how to do an essay I can now teach people the basic structure of an essay. Some people like it the easy way. For example, when students talk during class then, when it comes to the test they don't know anything. They will often cheat on that test. I always want to learn because it gives me a greater chance to go to college. All in all what this means is just to listen first. I remember a great saying that everyone uses "Don't judge a book by it's cover". This means people need to get to know someone before they judge them.
