Self Reflection/Evaluation
I wish I had used time in class more wisely. I should have managed my time better and not left so much work for the last few days. The research paper was very difficult for me and I had trouble coming up with a thesis statement. I spent a lot of time on my project but am not sure if I did a good job.
