Midterm Check In

The semester is going well, my grades are mostly where I want them to be and I am doing well with managing my time. I need to improve my chemistry grade and keep up with the course in the textbook. As for suggestions for you, none come to mind. I honestly think you are doing a very good job.

     One person who I thought had a very effective presentation was Cady. She seemed very enthusiastic about her topic and that led me to want to pay attention more. She was not monotone in her speaking and her energy could be felt in the room. This makes it more likely that the audience will listen to her and take an interest in what she is talking about.
