3. I am confidant I am doing this and I am doing this for others in the class.

4. I do not believe I am doing this well. Not to informed on cultural heritage and don't know too much history on events that may be put in front of me.

5. I am comfortable with this. Working with others to solve large problems is key. One can not do it alone.

6. I am doing this and feel that trying to do something other than this will not be as effective. When doing assignments in class I try to stick to my strong points.

4. Feel comfortable with this. I don't think however I am reaching this goal entirely. I need to work more on the actual process of revising.

English 101

1. I believe I understand this well. In order to write effectively one needs to know what they are writing or reading I am pretty comfortable with this. Once i see what is going on I can then start working on the paper 

2. The verbal portion I think I understand, but for the visual I don't as much. Maybe try and visualize what the writer is trying to get across?

3. This makes sense and I feel pretty comfortable with it. Once you have and idea of what you are writing or reading that has to match the audience.

4. This like the others are very important and I feel I understand them all. I am confident I know how they connect.

5. I don't do this very much. I believe this is one major weak point of mine and I need to work on it. I think i can easily do it, but I don't really enjoy writing in the first place. Possible solution is to find a motivation to work on going back and fix old papers.

6. I understand this well and am somewhat comfortable to find primary research for the situation. I do need to work on my research methods though.

7. I think i am doing ok in this. I try to work well with groups that  I am assigned and try to get the task assigned done.

8. Not to sure about this one. I think I understand it. Find out what the subject is and explore the possibilities of that subject. 

9. Another weak point of mine. Trying to do my best to keep motivated and working on papers. Don't like to go back and revisit papers even though it can only help them improve.
