4th quarter!

Here we are. The fourth quarter! I'm excited and scared at the same time, but let's get to business.

It was an interesting week. Supposedly a  lot of people did bad on the recent assessment, so we had to make a flow chart of some sort to reinforce our understanding. Although I did just fine, and this little project wasn't totally necessary, I felt that it did a good job to put everything together. Some things I weren't so sure about actually came back to me once I started looking at some notes to do the project. I ended up completing the chart in a day or two, so I could conclude that it both proved and improved my knowledge to a high degree.
Apologizes for the small size. Blogger won't let me bump up the size without format issues.
 
Something I wasn't so fond of was the new partner blog thing. I don't know; maybe it's just because I feel more comfortable working alone or that it's just more simpler, but I don't prefer it. I don't have anything against it; don't get me wrong. If it helps others, then that's okay with me. I'd just rather not use it. That's all. Besides, I think after a few mishaps I learned for myself what these blogs should look like. As far as I know, they contain my thoughts, learning experience, suggestions, and even constructive criticism as I see fit. Since this among other things is apart of a new learning experience, I guess we'll look forward to the rewards.

During the week we also started a new lab and had some visitors. Although the lab was not completed until a later date, I have to express how proud I was during that day. It was so nice to have a peer school come and visit us to learn better teaching techniques. I'm so glad that even in today's competitive world we can still help out a fellow school.

The lab that was conducted (finished from last time) pretty cool, but as of now, I'm very confused on these new reactions for the new material. It's a little boggling to look ahead of the foggy road of knowledge with only an experiment and some worksheets to do. I am looking forward to put this stuff together next week. As far as the experiment went, it was cool, but seemed a little too similar to a previous one. Hmm...have we done this before??

Oh, and by the way, congratulations on the instructor's progress for his award. I haven't gotten to viewing the results, but I am still very proud and happy for his achievement.
