Reflective Essay On Ap Physics

Looking back at the amount of writing I’ve done for AP Literature, I can see growth in my understanding of poetry and of literature. There are skills and concepts that I need to focus on and refine as I continue on through the class, but I am confident in the abilities that I have picked up so far.

My AP Biology class was the hardest class I have ever taken and my traditional studying skills did not help. Not knowing how to study and not having time to study made it very difficult to keep up with the class. I had to think fast and I learned that the only way I remember certain concepts where by seeing them in action. I am a visual learner. Reading words and flashcards do not help me learn unless I actually see things happen. So I started taking notes on videos and I started doing better. I would have never come to this realization if I never did Students Run LA. Also I was not the only one in SRLA who was in AP Biology so we were able to learn together while running together. I am ready for any challenge that comes my way and any other surprises along the way. I will become a professional in my

I earned a one on the AP Chemistry exam and a C in the class both semesters; I couldn’t be happier. Although I technically failed AP Chemistry according to the AP exam standards, I gained invaluable experience throughout the class. While others would be devastated to see their report card with all A’s and one C, I was content with it. My junior year I was placed in AP Chemistry-without having taken the prerequisite classes- and I failed to switch out. By not dropping the class I learned just how persistent I could be and how much effort pays off.

I am petitioning to have my AP credit reinstated, with the subsequent removal of my Math 081 grade removed or reverted to a “W”. Before I came to Lehigh I was required to send in my AP credit in order to check if I met any of the requirements to move ahead in any of the classes and since I had passed the AP Calc exam with a 4 I had intended to move forward. Upon my first day of classes I was notified that I had to take MATH 021 for my major which at the time was CSE but I had intended to switch to CBE. When I was sent to the Advising Business office in order to formulate a schedule for my intended track in CBE an advisor placed me in MATH 081 in order to fulfill the requirement. I inquired why I was required to take a math class recalling

Many friends have taken or are going to take this class, which motivates my inner want in exploring this advanced class. Before my junior year began, I took time and vacillated between taking AP literature or AP biology--I decided on the latter. My masochistic self and other peers took AP chemistry last school year; knowing that there is a lot of work in that class, I didn’t want to add another class with a massive workload, which is why I find myself here in my senior

On a two-hour bus ride to a small, rural town in New Zealand with my school, we passed by numerous beautiful rolling hills and forests. While my classmates chatted, listened to music, and watched the landscape, I kept my eyes focused downward on my AP Physics binder. It was the summer before senior year, and instead of fully enjoying the month-long community service trip to a foreign country, I also focused on self-studying AP Physics 1 and 2. Because my school requires a prerequisite physics class before enrolling in AP Physics C, I had to learn an entire year’s worth of material over the summer. At the end of my Junior year when I was contemplating taking the harder physics class, one of the physics teachers told me, “No one has jumped straight into Physics C in many years, but I think you can do it.”

The grade that I think that I should receive for the first semester of AP Seminar is an A. I believe that I should get an A for multiple reasons, such as I complete all my work, I have always given my full effort throughout the class, and I work well in group scenarios. Throughout the first semester, I consistently finish my assignments. While we were doing the practice PT1 I had finished the individual research report and the drafts that went along with it on time. Additionally, I found and read research to help myself prepare for the socratic seminar. During the course of the class I have constantly completed my tasks to the best of my ability. The second day of school we were to prepare a short presentation about a picture. In the beginning

When it was obvious that I could not earn an A in this course at this time, I dropped the course so that I could regroup. I used my inner talents for analytical analysis and critical thinking to identify the reasons for my challenges in AP Physics. Quickly I realized that the pressure of getting a good GPA and good grades in every course had paralyzed me. I had channeled all my energy into earning a grade and neglected to consider that knowledge must

Starting this class, I’ll be honest, I was afraid when I heard about AP Seminar. I didn’t really know how I got into the class because I know my writing isn’t as great as most kids in my class. AP Seminar involves a lot of hard work, and I felt as if my writing wasn’t good enough. Out of my 5 essays from last year, I only got one A. That one A didn’t make me feel smart though, and I didn’t understand why. Writing this now is difficult for me because I don’t know how to explain things in my own words. I heard a lot about how hard this class is and about the speeches. I can’t stand talking about speeches because that is my greatest fear. I still haven’t figured out my main writing strength, but what I do know is I am taking small steps into

I started my junior year and I was initially surprised on how easy the courses were. Because of this, I got extremely cocky. I started to belittle everyone and deemed I was the greatest in academics. I called this my “god-complex” phase. Since my school only offered one science-related AP class, I went with that, which was AP Physics 1. I started feeling confident that I’ll be able to ace this class easily like my other courses. Only two weeks after I joined and I was literally crying about how hard it was.

I was offered and took the opportunity to take a highly advanced physical science class in my Junior year of high school. I was never particularly troubled by any science class, neither biology nor chemistry, yet AP Physics I challenged me in a way that I had never experienced before. I had never been so afraid of a class, wary of a subject matter, or so stressed over weekly examinations. AP Physics I introduced me to the world of a science that was not known to me before and one that I could not seem to “crack.” I still remember the first day; I sat at the front of the classroom in the first row, directly in front of the white board, and was endlessly enthusiastic about learning about a subject I was never before exposed to.

During my junior year, I was took a mock AP test for English. After i received my results on my writing portion, I was really surprised. The score I got on the test was a 3, but my writing score was a 2. Writing is what i considered my best part in English, so i was really shocked. My English teacher said the paper lacked creativity. She stated that I should brainstorm before my papers and this will allow me to come up with better plan for my papers. That comment really hurt me because I felt like I let her down. But I was determined to fix my mistake. For the next paper I wrote, I began to jot downs ideas and concepts for my paper before I started writing. This gave me a plan and allowed me to become creative because of the multiple ideas.

Sometimes it is hard to create an environment where students can come together and put their ideas together so that their peers are able to relate, improve, and develop that idea. However when I first came to this class something that really helped me engage in the class and get up to date was the Cycle of Liberation group.

The author said that American’s equality and informality in this article, and he/she pointed out that negative perspective and following examples: women, the higher-status person, and foreigners. In addition, the author implied that contradiction of American’s equality with some common situations. However, author illustrated that American’s casual and friendly behavior, and he/she mentioned about equality of Americans with favorably.

What did I learn in physics this year? Physics reveals how our surroundings operate or don’t operate. I learned how a microwave oven uses rays with a smaller wavelength than a lightbulb. One thing I learned about physics is that it’s all based on math. Having a math disability puts me at a disadvantage against all other students. I understand material better especially if the lesson is taught to me one-on-one and I also don't have a very good memory which doesn't allow me to remember material as fast and easier as others. Let me start off with I know about physics.
