Reflection #1
The assignment was to
complete the first test out of the 11 categories provided. Each test was to
examine and show us what we know and may not know about proper grammar.
Despite, this being a solo project, instead of our usual Google Document group
assignments, it went smoother than I hoped. Overall, after completing each
category, I feel I have gained some knowledge, remembered a few important
details from previous years, and learned from past mistakes in my grammar.
There were some parts of each category I went back to over the weekend before
trying out the category just to refresh my mind. Working on my own also shows
what my capabilities are without a group to that could interfere with our
potential. There are things I have to admit though, there were a few cases with
the verb categories and correcting the run on category that I some trouble
with, but the mistakes one person can make however, can be changed as long as
you learn from them. I view my results to keep expanding my mind to get better
at the use of grammar so I can do better the next time I take a test like
these.
Reflection #2
The next assignment
was to re-take the tests in the second category provided. The second column was
to see how much we have improved or need improving on out of the 11 sections. As
I have mentioned in my first reflection, I view my results to
keep expanding my mind to get better at the use of grammar so I can do better
the next time I take a test like these. By following that message, after I took
the second test for each category, I did better than the first one. There are
still categories I need to work on, such as ‘Correcting the fragment in simple
sentences’ and ‘Choosing the correct verb form’ categories. Despite the
improvement in grades, for the verbs and sentence structure is was luck that
the knowledge I have gained from over the weekend was still fresh in my head
and helped me improve my scores. I still want to improve my scores so before we
take a test like this again to make sure I can still understand the material.
For a project I’ll make sure to check if my grammar and proper word choice flow
smoothly.
