Semester Two Week 1 Blog: Due Sunday, January 26th by 11:00 pm

Since we are at the beginning of the new semester and everyone gets a fresh start, it is time to reflect on our successes and failures of the first semester.  Do you feel you received the grade that you earned?  Do you feel your grade does not accurately reflect the time and effort you put in to the class?  Since the second semester will move faster with a higher workload, is there anything you need to change to be as successful or more successful than you were in the first semester?  What are your goals for the new semester?  Remember, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.  In other words, if you were not as successful in the first semester as you would have liked, you must change your behavior to improve your success for the second semester.  I look forward to reading your reflections and goals for the new semester.  You must post an original comment PLUS comment on someone else's post in order to receive full credit for the blog.  If you have trouble posting, you can post your comment/response on edmodo or email it to me at physicswithego@gmail.com.  Happy Blogging!
