Classification: I chose this project because it shows how I understood the different aspects of classification.
I chose this blog because it was my second time posting a blog and helped me learn more about blogpsot and taxonomy.
Evolution:I chose this project because it was quite difficult for me to do and I struggled but still got 100% on it.

Bacteria:
I think Shanveer and I did a good job on this lab and understand the concept very well.

By finishing off bacteria Shanveer and I created a very well done bacteria model.

I chose this because I understood this the best in this unit and it really helped me understand algae and protists.
Disscussion:
In this course i have completed all the blogs and assignments and handed them in on time or a day later due to soccer. Even though i missed a lot of classes because of soccer i managed to catch up and finish my assignments. I think i can be a lot more engaging in class talks and stuff like that. Even though i dont really participate a lot i have presented my interesting findings and presented them to the class. I am very engaged in doing my work when it has to be done. I dont rush my assignments and blogposts i take my time and do them as best i can. I believe the most powerful learning experience are the blogposts. I think writing blogs and posting things we find interesting really help us understand biology better because we can see other peoples points of view too. I think i have done good but not the best i can do in this class. I did not manage my time to study for quizzes enough as i should have due to school soccer, and soccer outside of school. I shouldnt use soccer as an excuse for my last 2 quizzes because i chose to play soccer. Now that the season is over i believe i can study more and do my best on quizzes and tests! Even though I havent done as well as i could on 2 quizzes i still think i did very well on my blogposts and assignments, so I believe i deserve atleast the letter grade B in this term and atleast 80% and im motivated to do a lot better in this class now.
Kelvan - good reflection. I am glad that you are finding posting to your blog to be a big part of your learning in biology. I appreciate that you have had to do lots of work on your own time from missing classes due to soccer - it shows a lot of work ethic and motivation to keep up to date. Good job with that. I'm sure that if you take the time to review for quizzes you will do fine - keep using your class time well. Thanks for sharing your blog post about the lizard that shoots blood from it's eye. That was really cool. I hope to see that level of engagement and interest in learning about biology as the semester continues.
