Grade
Yourself
This semester I think my work ethic overall was
shown through my grades. As an individual I have high standards for myself and
I know that anything I push myself to do I can achieve. I put a lot of effort
into this class not only because I want to challenge myself but because I
solely enjoyed this class. Over all I think that my positive behavior, work
ethic, and attendance deserves an A. I think I deserve this grade because as a
freshman and translating to an environment that I am not used too I still
showed positive behavior. Also in class my attendance was on point, although I
was late to a couple of classes that I didn’t receive credit for I still took
the responsibility in showing up every day. Another reason I think I deserve an
A is because every piece of work I have ever submitted, all my papers,
journals, and presentations were all delicately and patiently put together with
hard work. I have not always been the best writer and I am still improving but I
think that in this class I have come a long way. I will always do any and
everything to get what I deserve but only in the responsible and truthful way.
Cheating is never the answer in my eyes, and “karma” eventually catches up with
that type of behavior. One thing I would have done differently though this
course is forgetting to have my peer edit for the choice assignment paper,
although I do agree that missing that grade pushed me even more to do my work.
In all honesty I was contemplating on just turning in the paper because I had
the peer edit sheet but like I said before I don’t like cheaters and I never
want to display that type of behavior. Academic integrity is what I think I
display, to me it means that you are holding yourself accountable and maintaining
your grades while being honest in your work and achieving your goals.
To have academic integrity
I think you must be reliable and responsible this is important to student
success because you are taking accountability of your own actions and being respectful
of your peers and teachers. I think academic integrity also shows
a student’s understanding in what they would like to accomplish not only in
school but in life. The effort you put forth into your work shows what kind of
student and what kind of person you are, and to be successful as a student
motivation in the goal you want to achieve. I try my best to achieve great
grades, and I do my best in making sure they are achieved properly. I feel
accomplished when my grades that I worked for pay off because of my own
academic integrity. I like to be honest in my work cheating is never the answer
and cheating gets you nowhere in life. Motivation is a big factor I think in
integrity because not only am I paying the money to gain a broader education
but because one day I would like to have a career where I know my grades paid
off and all those long nights studying and preparing paid off. I also take
responsibility of all my actions which I think is a big part of academic
integrity and I believe honesty and commitment is what makes a great student.
Commitment to grades and commitment to becoming a better student is how someone
becomes successful. I think I did great in this class and a lot of that is due
to my teacher for being so kind and reasonable. For allowing second chances for students like myself, who forget sometimes, to recover. This semester I
learned many things that I will carry on into my other courses and continue to
become a better student.
