Reflection Time: Survey Results

Reflection Time: Survey Results How can I use my class time more effectively? “By trying not to talk during transition times” “I can make lists on what I have to do and that will help me stay organized.” “By not getting distracted by other classmates” “I can stay more on task, and separate myself from my friends.” “By focusing 100% on my work” “Prioritize the things that need to get done” ‘During class, I could not talk as much so I can get more done in class, so I can do less at home.” I can use Focus for more important things (not looking for music). “I could ask more questions.” “Develop a plan/schedule on specific tasks that need to be accomplished and when the tasks are due (sort importance of the assignments as well).”
