Goal Setting




Part 2: Goal Setting
Share your goals.

For the period of this year, I will be studying for the SAT exams. I hope to acquit myself well in the endeavor for it will be a significant factor in my university acceptation, and thus, one that will impact my future professional life. In addition to this, I would like to perform to the best of my ability in my academics, placing particular focus on the language department which I have not focused on as much as the others in the past years. This will make me a student with a more balanced profile.

What "something new" will you try this year?

I will be embarking on a journey to take the most important standardized test a student can take in high school. Not only is it a new experience, but it also will happen during my school year. Furthermore, I am now entering the DP program, which is a different and new experience. These factors crashing down on me together will be very difficult to cope with for I will have to be studying on two fronts, both of which I have had no experience with. 

Look at your goals. How will the material that we cover in class help you to achieve them? What will you learn over the next two years that will contribute to their fulfillment?

The material covered in class will give me a greater understanding of language and of the role it plays in our lives. This will help me accomplish the goal of focusing particularly on the first and second languages I have taken (English and French respectively). By taking this course, I will understand the importance of language in our lives and hence be able to learn with a zeal that I can only get by UNDERSTANDING WHY I am learning what I learn. Thus by understanding it’s importance, I will not slack off and will embrace my studies.

Reflection on Written Assessment

How I felt the assessment went before the feedback: I felt the assessment went reasonably well. I expected to get around a level 7 for the assessment. However, I knew that I wouldn't get a high 7 due to the fact that there were several elements that I knew I missed out on (an in depth analysis on mood, for example). These would undoubtedly lower my grade, and perhaps even lower me down to a 6. How I feel now after the assessment: After I have obtained feedback, I feel like I obtained more or less what I expected to. The gaps in my writing undoubtedly contributed to my imperfect score, as confirmed in my feedback. I hoped to get a slightly higher grade, but I missed out because I was unable to talk about everything in the given time limit. Action plan for the next written assessment: For the next assessment, I hope to address some of my weaknesses highlighted in the feedback. For instance, it was seen that my analysis on stylistic devices should have been more elaborate. I...
