A Showcase of My Progress in Assessment II

Hello there! You are about to see my academic progress in Assessment II. I’m just a simple person; an average student who wants and needs to pass and survive every semester. I am not that committed to this career I’ve chosen but I’m doing my best to at least excel in this course. To graduate, to help my parents, to help everyone who’s in need, and to adapt more stray cats, those are my goals in life for now.

Rica Reyes Gardanozo

People call me Cay, Rics, Kakay, Kikay,and Choy but my real name is Rica Reyes Gardanozo. It was the time of prosperity where people receive lots of penny; it was the time where stars twinkle in the clear evening sky and the cold breeze seizes the night; it was the time where Christmas carols can be heard from house to house; it was a cold joyful night when I was born. December 22, 1998, 8:30 pm at Martin de Porres Hospital, Tarlac when I finally met the world. I currently residing at Barangay Bantog, Tarlac city in a simple house with my simple family.
18 years of existence, I only received one significant award; it happened when I graduated from elementary school. I was the third honor student in our batch. After that, I have not received any award, but I’m looking forward to the greatest award that is waiting for me which will granted by the One who created me. That would be the most significant award that I’ll be receiving.
Cliché it may sounds, but I believe that, “Life is a matter of choice”. If you want to live or to die, it’s up to you; if you want to be happy or to be misery, it’s up to you; if you want to love or to hate, it’s all up to you. Like a ship, I once was stocked on a shore which is my comfort zone, I chose to stay and live life as it is because I am afraid to sail and face the waves of the sea, like Peter (from the bible) when he was asked by Jesus to walk on the water in the midst of the storm, he’s afraid that he might sink.
My life is not far from the life of Peter. I have so many doubts in my life, I have so many “what ifs” in my mind like what if I sink? What if the storm will leave me shipwreck? What if I can’t do this or that? What if I fail? What if I’ll be nothing but disappointment?—these are the questions that keep on popping on my obscure mind, but one day, God called me to sail. I thought again about the waves and the storm, so I refused and chose to stay in the shore. Again, God called me and this time, I stood up and responded to God’s call. While happily sailing, the storm came—problems, trials, and temptations. From those storms and waves, I learned how to fight, I learned how to sail and give up my comfort zone, and I learned how to trust God with all my heart. This is my life. I chose to follow God for I know that His promise will not change .I believe that God lets the waves and the storms devastate my life because these will lead me to a better life. As it says from the bible, “All things work together for good to those who love God”.

#Quizzes and Exams

I got satisfactory scores in my quizzes. The reason behind these low but passing scores is that I did not review, obviously because if I reviewed, I won't get such low scores, but it's okay. It's my way of testing myself if I retained some information in my brain from the discussed lessons. If I have low scores, of course, I also have high scores,and I'm proud of that!

Okay lang yan, may next quizzes pa! Bawi ka!

This quiz was written at the back of my note book and it's about the Basic Concept of Assessment Method, Types of Evaluation, Types of Test, Principles of High Quality Assessment, Measures of Central Tendency, Interpretation of Graphs, and Measures of Variability. Out of 40, I got a28 score.

2nd Quiz

Walang Himala! Nagreview lang Talaga!

This quiz really overwhelmed me. Imagine? I only got four mistakes. I am so proud of this score. I think, I'm 2nd or 3rd of the highest score. Thank God!
Also, at the back portion of this paper, I wrote my reflection about the video clip that we watched.

This tells my learning in Assessment I

I am not surprisedd with my score in this pretest. I firmly admit that I have learned a little in Assessment I, but thanks to our instructor, sir Mark, by recalling and rediscussing the important terms and points in Assessment I, I was enlightened and I was able to organized all the shuffled pieces information in my mind that I have acquired in Assessment I.

R.I.P Score

R.I.P Score

This midterm examination in Assessment II was a disaster; it was an epic fail. I, as well as my friend, Patricia, thought that our first exam to be taken was the Curriculum Development. We are very surprised when we looked at our test paper and saw there, "Examination in Assessment II". Patricia shed a tear, and me, I laughed. It was really a disaster. I did not review that's why I got an almost failing grade.

#Assignments

I was so saddened with my scores in my assignments. May be, I did not just reach the standard of the rubric that our instructor has.

"It's not me, it's the rubric"

I was excited of this assignment. I was excited to post this knowing that I could have a high grade, because I exerted a lot of effort on this. I was so excited when our instructor was announcing the grades, but when  he said, "Gardanozo, 10". Oh shocks! I was really shocked. Why sir? why? he could've given me 15, but why 10? 
At the end of our mid. term, sir Mark explained about this, then I was able to knew that it wasn't him, it was the rubric.

I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough.

Out of 20, I only got 12 points here. I really exerted an effort here, but I guess that wasn't enough to reach a high score. I spent hours here thinking of a concept; I only had plenty sleep to draw and color this, but then, the score is still low. My sleep, my effort are only worth 12 points.

Acrostic

In this assignment, I got  12/15. I'm happy with my score.

#Activities

Objectives of Affective Domain

Group Task

This was a group task. My groupmates, Jovel, Patricia, Gelaine, and Kim wrote objectives in Affective Domain. It was a challenging activity, but I loved it.

Objectives of Psychomotor Domain

GRASPS

This group task was about Performance-Based Task. Together with my groupmates, we brainstormed a best topic in line with our specialization and we came up with Spoken Word Poetry. After that, we wrote first, Objectives in Psychomotor Domain, and second, We design a performance task using the GRASPS model.

 Holistic Rubric

Analytic Rubric

In this group task, we created our own rubrics. We chose Argumentative Essay as a product to be rated using rubrics. We divided our task, my groupmates, Patricia and Angela did the Analytic Rubric, while Cristina and I did the Holistic Rubric. Luckily, we got 13 points for the Analytic Rubric and 10 points for the Holistic! Isn’t it amazing? Our scores are high!

Objectives of Psychomotor Domain

"Ang Bayani"

This was the actual application of the objectives that we created regarding psychomotor domain. I’ve been a lot of struggles in making this video. It’s supposed to be a group work, but I did it on my own because when we were about to make a video, I saw and I felt that my groupmates are so idle, they look like snails and I don’t want to see people like them, so I decided to do it alone but still, they it will be a group work. Another struggle is that, it did not want be uploaded. I was so doomed that day! So I needed to message our instructor via messenger, gladly, our instructor was kind. He understood me and allowed me to pass the video in a compact disk.

I wasn’t able to see our score. I wished I saw it.

Ngiting Tagumpay!

Efforts were well recognized!
Kudos 3-D2!

This whole class task perhaps is the most difficult situation that was given to us. It is difficult in terms of decision-making. This task almost clashed our section because of the performance that we should perform. Some are in Broadway, that includes me of course, but others are in Jazz Chant. In the end, we fell on Jazz Chant. Luckily, we won the first place.

Anyway, I was in the backdrop committee; I was the one who held the window during the performance. Also, I got a grade of 1.0. I did not react on that because, I believe I do deserve that grade.

#Reviewers

Reviewer for the Future!

These are my reviewers given by our instructor. These really helped me and will help me in reviewing for our LET. The information given there were complete and all things that are stated there were showed in our mid. Term exam.

Lecture for the Future!

Lecture for the Future!

Lecture for the Future!

These are my lectures and serve us reviewers for me.  My classmates always say, “kasipag mo namang magsulat”, that’s true, because if I don’t write, I feel like I’m not a student; I feel like I don’t study. Writing is one of my ways of retaining information in my brain.

#Report

1st Reporter

Rush pa More!

Since I don’t have a smartphone to document my report, and since my friends are so kind that they did not take photos of me, I just used my powerpoint presentation to show that I really reported.

I was the first reporter in our whole class and I just made my report the night before the day of my discussion, because our leader gave it so late, and I was so surprised when they said that I was the first discussant. “naloka” ako! I thought they were just joking. I wonder how they divided the topics. One thing for sure, That wasn’t fair. But there’s nothing I can do but to do what I was told to do.

#Reflection

. I’ve come so far in this pilgrimage and every struggle I faced, I learned so many things. I learned to have faith even more firm, I learned to be strong, I learned to be independent, I learned to be selfless, I learned to be committed, and I learned to love this path I took.

                Now, for this subject, since this semester is about to end, Assessment II really helped me in my study, I’ve learned a lot of things that I could use in the actual field of teaching. This course also enlightened me about some of the topics in Assessment I, because honestly, I just learned a little from that subject. Regarding the whole class, I really had a lot of good memories that I could cherish whenever I feel tired and stressed out in this journey. Thank you to my “pabibo” but jolly classmates, this section is one of the best sections I’ve ever been before, even though sometimes or most of the time, they’re noisy and hard-headed.

                To our instructor, Sir Mark Castillo, I’m not being “sipsip”, but I must say, among all the instructors or professors I have experienced, you are one of the best! Thank you for being kind, fair and gentle; thank you for your patience and thank you also for understanding us. You truly are every student’s ideal instructor, even though your standard is high. All throughout this semester, you never showed madness; you never showed that you are bothered by our noise and flubdub. Regarding the activities that were executed in the subject, I don’t know why other students were annoyed by those activities, in fact, those are chances to have high grades because I believe that the more activities a student does, the highest the possibility that he will pass and will have high grades. I really enjoyed those activities, but unfortunately, our instructor stopped executing activities because many students complaint because of those.

To end this up, this subject including our instructor played an important role in my progress and development as a prospective teacher. Those lessons that were taught are highly appreciated, and will be cherished as I continue to walk to the path of success.

 

This Class is one of the Bests!
