We do a self evaluation each quarter. First we have to think about our own performance in the quarter. We have to think about how we did with our ten Workplace Expectations. We also have to count how many days we were present compared to the total amount of days in the quarter. We make a fraction:
Days Present
____________
Total Days
Then you divide and get a number like .89. That means 89% of the days you were here. That is pretty good. But our range was from 44% to 100%.
Then we have to write down how our attendance helped or hurt our learning.
We also have to give ourselves a grade: A, B,C,D,F and tell two things that need to happen to improve our learning.
The best part (but also the hardest part) was to write down three things we worked on this quarter that we feel will be helpful in our adult life. We also had to write down what the most important thing we learned when we did financial (money) math. Here is our list (combining all the classes- there were a bunch that got listed more than one time.)

We also had to tell Sister Patrice "one thing she should think about improving in her teaching." Here are some of our answers:
- Less "putting your foot down" (be less firm with expectations and rules)

- I wouldn't want you to change anything.
- Be less strict with time if we are late from breaks.
- Nothing really.
- No more "Noise Violations" (from continued talking during instruction)
