In the portfolio, we were informed that we had to address an issue with adult education. My instructor explained the portfolio to us during the first week of class, and we spent many weeks preparing for it. She assisted us in improving our critical and rhetorical analysis capabilities, which would play a significant role in the portfolio, particularly critical analysis.
I was so excited to get started on the portfolio and I had high expectations. The first step in the portfolio was to write a letter of introduction. This was relatively easy for me because I have done a lot of writing in my life. However, I struggled with how to approach the topic from an adult education standpoint. After several drafts, I finally came up with something that I thought would work well.
The second step was to write a problem statement. This is where I really struggled. I had no idea what an adult education problem statement even looked like. I did some research and found some examples, but they all seemed very long and complicated. Finally, after several more drafts, I came up with a problem statement that I thought would work.
The third step was to write a literature review. This was probably the easiest part for me. I have done a lot of research in my life and I am very familiar with how to find and use sources. I was able to quickly find several sources that I thought would be helpful for my portfolio.
The fourth step was to write a reflection paper. This was by far the most difficult part for me. I have never been good at reflecting on my own work. It is always hard for me to see the mistakes that I have made and to learn from them. However, after several drafts, I finally came up with a reflection paper that I thought would work well.
We came up with a long list of potential portfolio topics when it was time to write our papers. We generated ideas on our own and as we spoke them, the instructor entered them into a word document. I had several different options at first, but I eventually decided on one: student focus on grades.
When I first read the topics, this one jumped out at me right away. I am a huge fan of learning and I love to write so the combination of the two was perfect for me.
The reason why I picked this topic is because it is something that I feel very passionate about. When I was in high school, my focus was always on getting good grades. My parents put a lot of pressure on me to do well and get into a good college. So, grades were always very important to me. And, while I did get good grades, I didn’t necessarily learn everything that I needed to know.
Now that I am in college, I have realized how important learning is. Yes, grades are still important, but I have realized that they are not everything. I would much rather learn something and get a C on the assignment than to not learn anything and get an A.
So, when it comes to writing this paper, I want to focus on how important learning is and why grades should not be the only thing that students focus on. I also want to talk about how grades can actually hinder learning if students focus too much on them.
I think it is important for students to understand that grades are not everything. Grades do not define you as a person or your intelligence. Learning is so much more important than getting a good grade. And, if you’re not learning, then what’s the point of getting a good grade?
I remember when I was in high school, I would always get frustrated when I would get a bad grade on an assignment. But now, I realize that it’s not the end of the world if you get a bad grade. What’s important is that you learn from your mistakes and do better next time.
Getting a bad grade can actually be a good thing because it shows you what you need to work on. It can also motivate you to do better next time. So, don’t let a bad grade get you down. Just use it as a learning opportunity and move on.
I was a first-year law student, and I was assigned to write an article on the subject of “Affirmative Action in the United State.” As I began to compose my paper, I recognized that my topic was too vague.
Then I changed topics to how students typically prioritize their grades over acquiring knowledge in a way that would help them. This problem appealed to me because it has affected me when I was in high school and has followed me throughout my educational career. Until recently, school have always come easy for me since I had no one telling me what I needed to know for the test.
One of my biggest issues that I had to face was learning how to study. In high school, I never really had to study because the material came easy to me and I always managed to get good grades without having to put in much effort. When I got to college, things were different. The material was not as simple, and I was no longer able to just breeze through my classes without putting in any effort. It took me a while to realize that if I wanted to do well in college, I would have to learn how to study and be more critical about the material that I was learning.
I think that one of the reasons why students focus more on their grades than on learning is because they feel like they need to get good grades in order to be successful. However, what they don’t realize is that by focusing on their grades, they are not learning the material in a way that will benefit them in the long run. When I was in college, I would often find myself trying to memorize information for a test rather than understanding it. As a result, I would forget the material as soon as the test was over.
I think it is important for students to learn how to critically reflect on the material that they are learning. By doing this, they will be able to better understand the material and retain the information for a longer period of time. Additionally, critical reflection will help students to see the connections between different concepts, which is something that is often not emphasized in school.
One way that students can learn how to critically reflect on the material that they are learning is by writing about it. Writing forces students to slow down and think about what they are trying to say. It also allows them to organize their thoughts in a way that makes sense. Additionally, writing about what they are learning will help students to remember the material better.
