1.9-Process journal #3

Working by my self was the best thing I ever did,but the bad thing about that is that I have to everything by myself with no help so I gotta work twice is hard to get a good grade. In this project i think I'm a risk taker because I took the risk to work by my self and also I've been getting everything done. I'm starting to see the grade that I'm suppose to get. My greatest strength is coming up wit this the ideas and helping myself what i have to do or reminding my self of what I need to do. the only problem i can see me having is staying on task at all times with out talking to nobody.

1.6-process journal #2

I think I am doing well in class and that I should get a 4 in criteria F because I get my work done but I also talk and get of task at times but always find time to get all my wok done. I am the only member in my team because I feel if I work by myself I have a better chance at passing so I don't have to relay on someone else. The things I can do to improve my score is stay on task and stop talking and also only worry about my self.
