My evaluation essay

My Reflective evaluation essay :)
It seems like yesterday when this course started :) I did look forward to it, to get to know new people, learn something and prove to myself that I can do this and that my English is good enough to go to university.
Positive experiences for me were the fact that all tutors were very positive and helpful, even subject like maths, which always had been a problem for me and a subject deserving my hatred through my school years came easy because of such a nice guy as John, it just proves if the tutor is interested in the subject and is understanding, people like me can actually start believing that we can do something. I can say that in every subject I learned something useful, for example communication which was my favourite, because Jerry has a fantastic quality to wake an interest in students about the subject, there was always something interesting to do and even though at the end of the course there were a lot of listening and analysing tasks to do, I do appreciate that he made us to do that, because I feel that my ability of listening and analysing has raised. Jerry, I thank you for that.
About the improvements – Considering language studies, maybe it’s just me but I would have preferred if we would have had a book with the programme, to follow, but apart from that I think it is great as it is.
There have to be done something considering this 5 page printing rule and all what comes with it in the self-access centre, although I must say that is was the best place to study because it was quiet, there are some things which can be improved I think you all know what I mean.
Evaluation of my own performance – Well, well, well, I DEFINITELY could have done better and could have done things on time and planned my tasks much better. There is always place for doing thing better. But I also have to admit that I have learned a lot.
What I have learned – In a short words, a lot. Maths – I repeated my entire school programme in three months, it definitely was useful and gave a boost to my confidence J Investigating Europe – helped me a lot in a sense that I had to prepare a presentation and get a lot of materials for my investigation, it was time management, planning and searching for the materials. Spanish language – I have learned Spanish in a level I can understand when people speak, but I could have done better anyway with my Spanish studies. I have learned more about Spanish culture thanks to Dieca who was telling us about that and giving us various materials about it. I think that now I know it a little. History – definitely learned a lot about Britain and Scotland. Communication – praise Jerry!!!! Loved this subject and it was my favourite as there was always some active listening and analysing and writing to do also the fact that Jerry always gave a very logical and useful feedback. I definitely feel my skills have improved. Literature – I read some books I otherwise would not have read and it is again very useful to know classics.
Overall I can say that this course has changed my life, and I hope that it is just a start, I want to thank all my tutors and the boss of the course Dieca for encouragement and all the work she did with us.
Also my dearest course mates, I will miss you guys, it was so great to have such a nice group of people really, I don’t want to say goodbye.
