Section Assessments

Based on the numerous section reviews that I have done, I am mostly asked to answer the questions . It sounds simple as it is, but some is quite a challenge such as drawing conclusions, determining cause and effect, making comparisons, expressing problems clearly, predicting consequences and lastly highlighting court cases. The steps that I needed to take to accomplish this assignment are reading the chapter until I clearly understand the concept. This takes time, but I learned to take my time in doing the section reviews, because I understand the lesson better.
This assignment was important to me because if I take the time to find the correct answers, I will get the benefit of remembering the questions if it may appear on future tests. This case happened frequently, where my teacher do take part of the questions on the test directly from the section assessments. Section assessments also help me build the mindset in learning, such as know what to cover based on the frequent questions mentioned about a specific key-term or diagram. This assignment is meaningful to me because it made me realize that I am not answering these questions for nothing, that it is assigned for students like me, to take the time to search for the answers therefore, reading. In rare cases, questions could be answered based on common sense, but why not just take the time to read. I have gained knowledge through reading, and it has been proven through my grades on quizzes and tests.
This assignment has an impact in my learning because by far, it has helped me to perform better on tests. I understand which area to spend a little more time to focus on, and which topic isn’t so important based on the questions that are given. I also now know that to better off my result in future quizzes and tests, to study the questions in addition to reading the chapter. I now know that this section assessment has a tremendous effect on my learning . It has made me think more and what I like most is answering questions that has me express my opinion such as ; predict the result of the court cases, do you agree or disagree , because there is no right or wrong answer as long as I support my opinion with evidences , and reasonable judgement.

Workbook
In my government class, I also do a lot of workbook. Steps needed to accomplish this assignment is basically broad knowledge of understanding and having the ability to interpret diagrams. Most of the time I spend on is understanding the charts and highlight the key events in the timeline. I believe that these key elements will guide me to become a better student.
This assignment was important to me because in addition to the section assessments that I have to do, this deals more on interpreting diagrams. The workbook covers mostly all the important dates that I need to remember that will be likely to appear on upcoming quizzes and tests, understanding the differences on similar ideas, comparing and contrast the roles of each branch, and so forth. It is important to me to grasp the idea, so that it will help me later on. Not only that the tests has multiple choice questions, but sometime it has the exact graph that appeared on the workbook! What made this assignment meaningful to me is without the additional work that is required in this class, I would have not understand how important the diagrams are trying to explain. Sometime it summarizes the long paragraph next to the paragraph, which makes it boring for me to read, but the diagram next to it really helps.
The impact on my learning based on this assignment is that it doesn’t make reading boring. It doesn’t make studying boring because I feel more engaged , especially because I am a visual learner. Sometimes my teacher would ask me to draw a van diagram map, and compare and contrast the roles of the 2 branches given, which came directly from the workbook. I now know how important it is to understand the charts, because it might come up on upcoming quizzes and tests. I also know that in order for me to strive to be a better student, I should be able to brainstorm, interpret, and elaborate key events. I know that if it wasn’t for the workbook assignment, I would not pay attention to the diagram that much. I thank this assignment to better my study , and for future references!
