Course Contract Update

There are some things that I have done well from my course contract and there are some things that could use improvement. From my goals, I made an assignment to get all my assignments done on time, which up to this point I have done. I also made a goal not to procrastinate. This goal could use a little work. I am so crazy busy this semester that sometimes I genuinely don't have time to work on assignments or study for this class until close to when they are due. But when I do have free time earlier in the week, which I don't very often, I can use some of that time to get ahead in this class or to just get started on the assignments so I don't feel rushed when I'm trying to get them done right before they are due. My third goal to study to remember the material throughout my life could also use some work. When there is so much material, it is generally impossible to commit it all to memory so sometimes I just memorize for tests, however, there are some things that because I think they are important I will study more or find some kind of connection of the material to my life so I will remember it better. So this goal could use a little work.

My weekly preparation plan was shot after about 2 weeks of school. In all honesty I don't have time to devote to this class every day. I do try to spread things out over at least a few days so I am not cramming everything into one day. Sometimes having a plan in my life doesn't actually help. I feel that this semester, the reason I get things done is because I don't sleep and this isn't because I am a slacker or procrastinate, it is genuinely because i have so much going on that I don't have time to fit it all in normal day hours. So while I haven't really followed my preparation plan, there realistically hasn't really been a way for me to follow it and I'm not quite sure how to make it better because although my scheduling isn't ideal, I do get everything done.

I do think that overall, I have been doing well in this class and I am learning a lot.
