to improve my writing, and my overall effort in the course. One of the key points we raised that I was very consistent in my hard work ethic, and I feel we definitely agreed that I do constantly participate in class whether it be asking questions or joining in on our class discussions. I think we also agreed that I was properly engaging with the course content as well. My overall work ethic clearly illustrates my investment in the course as a whole. We concluded that although I have made improvements regarding my organization within my essays, I still have to continue improving on that aspect because it is still not one of my strong points yet. Regarding my writing, we discussed my ability to illustrate how I have been trying to improve my organization and overall flow of my essays. I highlighted my sources and made lots of notes in order to get my ideas together and also made a rough outline before writing my essay. Although the overall flow of my essay and the organization of my writing is not at the level I would like it to be at, I feel I am definitely improving and during our conference I was able to illustrate that improvement. During the conference, I remember bringing up the fact that sometimes my transitions are very choppy, and I feel within my last essay there was definitely more of a flow to it, however we agreed that it still needs improvement. At the conclusion of our conference, we agreed that I was definitely participating and earned an A in that category because I am always asking questions and state my opinions during class discussions. For my cumulative work grade we also settled on an A because of my essays
in the course thus far. We settled on these grades because I did not do the bare minimum on any of my assignments, instead I would go above and beyond to make my assignment great. For example, I did a lot of extensive research on my topic of the meat industry, and that was clearly illustrated in my extensive Prezi presentation that I made. I plan to maintain my grade by continuing to work extra hard on assignments, and continuing to improve my writing organization and flow. Now that my conference is over, I surprisingly have no questions or concerns. I definitely still have some challenge with organizing my essays, however I plan to continue improving on that by making more extensive outlines before I begin writing the essay.
