Quarterly Self-Evaluation for Physics  

  Directions

Fill out the following survey and give it to me when you are finished. If your parents/guardians plan to come to the Parent-Teacher Conference, print them a copy too. They should have this in hand when they come to see me.

The purpose of this survey is to help you reflect on how you are presently approaching your studies. It is my hope, that in filling out this survey, you will identify your strengths and weaknesses and you will get some ideas on how to make some constructive changes.
