Goals and scales
Introduction-
through out the year we have had many goals and standards(scales) we have have used. The goals and scales are a way for a student to rate him/her self and see what he/she is missing to become sufficient in each chapter. They are given to use by our teacher and help focus the students studying. I personally am a fan of them and love having a set list in front of me when I go to study. They are a great tool for students.
Analysis-
Justification-
I really do feel that by using the goals and scales i have been able to be a better student and focus my studies and study more efficiently. I really like having a list of objectives to cross off because i already know them. I like knowing where i stand as a student in each chapter. It's nice knowing what areas i need to improve in.
