The POL declaration

Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.

To start things off

It’s not hard to realize that I have indeed really grown since the first few days of school if you look at some of my newer work compared to my older work. This was achieved by setting some goals to keep me on track. For example I have to finish something by a certain timeframe. That kinda worked, I’m not the best person for being proficient but I can still get something done.

To add on I would say I’m resilient. No matter how bad a project was I still try to fix it to the best I can. I stride for just an okay on most assignments this mostly happens in science with almost every assignment being okay. Another thing is that I come to class ready to learn. I come with the material that we were supposed to do a couple days or the night before. I am on time and don’t miss classes only if I’m sick. You must be asking why I am saying all these things well you had to choose some of these topics from the PLP success behaviours. There’s a bunch of category’s to choose from but 2 had to be from agency. Here are those success behaviours now.

Growth

I talked a little bit about growth at the start but I am going to talk about it more now. If you look back on one of the first things we did In maker becoming a PLP learner and all the drawing you had to do and some of my newer things in humanities like the ads where you can see an improvement on my technical skills. You can see where my editing skills came in handy from one of our projects where we did a small portion with super impose X. For the first draft of the ad I proposed the original photo where the sky was completely cloudy and the water was grey. With my handy work I added in a new sky and water. Although it doesn’t look the best I think I did a pretty good job.

More work ethic

Again I talked about this at the beginning and i will talk more about it here. There are so many things that want to distract you from doing the work at hand and might give into these things. But if you start doing it habits like work for a certain amount of time then have a break for 5 minutes it really improves your work ethic.

A highlight of the year

One of the good things to happen this year was winning second and first place in DI. For this my group and I needed to build a machine to launch a beanbag a certain amount of meters. The first tournament we won first in this category but only won second in it the next time around. The thing we got first in was the instant challenge for being the engineering team with the best teamwork and I can’t really talk about the other thing.

I hope you liked my T-POL and the end
