Portfolio assessment

 For my work habits in this class I think I deserve a (G) for work habits. I think I deserve a (G) because in class I am always working on the assignment or task and always pay attention to the person who is speaking. I am never on my phone in class except for when I use it to do my blog posts for class. I am also always to class on time and finish the assignments to the best of my ability. Specific examples for my work habits would be doing my presentation on my dream career. When I was in class I made sure that I used my time wisely so I could get all the information I needed. I also practised on what I would be saying for my presentation because I did a speech. Another example would be the collage we did on our personal page because I was away in Vegas for track but I made sure what I was supposed to do before I left and made sure I got it finished. In class I always get my work done to the best of my abilities and don't waste time,  and I use my time wisely. This is why I deserve a (G) for my work habits.

 For quality of communication skills I have grown a lot. I am not really a technology person but since we are using technology in this class I have learned so many useful ways to do assignments, projects, and presentations. I really enjoy using blogger and wikispaces and I think it's very useful. With my communication the assignment that showed my communication skills is the presentation of my dream career as I used in my work habits component above. I did this assignment as a speech because I really enjoy doing speeches and I don't mind speaking in front of the class. With all the assignments that I have done in this class I made sure that I have done them to the best of my ability. Others in the class are able to view all my blog posts and my personal page on wikispaces. Always when I am writing something I care very much about what I write and make sure it's to the best of my ability for example my blog post on career cruising because I put a lot of effort into what I was writing and made sure it was completed to the best of my ability. For all of the assignments I made sure that I met the criteria and made sure that all of my assignments were done on time. Another example would be my blog post of my Golden Future. The grade that I deserve for this component of the assessment would be an A and I think around 90 percent would be appropriate because I always make sure I do the assignments to the best of my ability and make sure that I have met the criteria. 

  For contributions to the learning environment I think I deserve an A and I think around 90 percent as well would be about right. I think I deserve this grade because in this class I have already learned so much already like about universities and jobs. After we do assignments I always make sure to comment on other classmates assignments to give them positive feedback and to help them learn. As well as when other people comment on my assignments I always make sure to respond back to them. If there is a comment that suggests something that needs to be changed I will fix my assignment and re-edit it. When we are in groups in class talking about a certain topic I will always try to contribute to the group and tell them what my opinion is. For example when we talked in groups about the guy Chris and the employability skills he lacked and possessed I gave my opinion of what I thought to the group and made sure everyone got a chance to talk. If there is anyone in the class who needs help I will make sure that I can help them in any way I can. I always listen to my peers when they are talking and make sure that I respond respectfully. I always complete my assignments on time so that my peers can read and learn from it for example my project with Michele on UBC on prezi in the class wikispaces website under education and careers. In class I always have a positive attitude and a good mind set every time I come to class. That's why I think I deserve my grade for component 3 of our assessment.

  For student learning I think I deserve an A and around 90 for percent as well as the other components because already in this class I have learned so much that will help me in my future. So far I have learned about many universities and certain requirments to get in like when the class did their presentations on the university of their choice. Examples of the things I have learned so far in planning is about jobs that are available to you and are an option for you in your future an example of this was my blog post on career cruising doing that blog post helped me learn a lot more about the job I want to have when I am older, being a personal trainer and also the certain requirements. Also having the presentation on driving and learning about getting your license and when you should start thinking about it.  Also the gambling presentation and being aware of it was really interesting and useful for our future. I really liked the presentation on being a fire fighter and really enjoyed it, it made me think about being a fire fighter for a career in my future.  Engagement in activities look like to me is when we have presentations people should pay attention and when we are asked to discuss certain topics everyone is contributing to the conversation. Also with assignments and tasks, make sure you use your time wisely and make sure it's finished on time. Also that people aren't talking and paying attention to the person who is speaking. I think with all the assignments in class I was engaged but I think I was most engaged when we had speakers come to the class and when the class did presentations. What I was really eager to learn was about careers and opportunities in the future. I have learned so much also about my self for example when we did the personalitlty quizzes and I did a blog post on that and as well as employability skills. From taking these quizzes I have learned a lot about how I learn and what's the best way I learn and the employability skills that I have for getting hired for a job. I was very eager to learn about all this stuff on careers and jobs because it's very important and it interests me. I like learning through presentations, I really enjoyed it when we had speakers come to the class and talk about certain topics. I like learning through people speaking the best. I have retained so much information  that allows me to walk away from this class and apply it. For example requirements for universities and the job that I want when I am older. For example doing the presentation on my dream career I know that I want to be a personal trainer and go to UNLV (University  of Nevada Las Vegas) on a track scholarship. Also important skills to get hired for a job by watching the movie The Persude Of Happyness and and taking the quiz on employability skills. I think my skill set has definitely changed in relation to class materials by using technology and being more comfortable with it. I have learned so many different skills of technology like using wikispaces. This is why I deserve my grade for component 4. 

  For my overall grade in this class I think the appropriate grade and percentage would be an A and around  90 percent due to the 4 components in our portfolio assessment.
