Typing Reflection


Typing Master is a program used to improve the user's writing speed and accuarcy. In my case, it did work yet things sometimes went wrong. These things were that sometimes I dropped like 20 % of my scorebut this has its reasons. One problem the Typing Master had is that in my computer, I could only choose one course or in this case one "Essay" to do. It was tiresome doing the same thing over and over again. Nevertheless, my writing did improve. Still, I don't think this should be included in the ninth grade as I don't think I could improve more.

MAP



This is my Math MAP graph. This graph is the best that in my opinion, represents how to show these scores. This graph can also be used in many other things like the rate of growth of something or even more complicated things.








This is my Reading MAP scores. I don't think that this is the best suitable graph for showing scores of one host but what I think is that it should be used when comapring 2 different items or so. These two items or even more, should be something like effectiveness of something or those two items.













This is the Language MAP graph I did. This is actually not the most appropiate graph for showing these scores but it is more likely to show different products and their values or whatever they are showing off.

MAP Testing



MAP testing is something that students in United Sates do. This is also done in Mexico. That is the case for me and peers. MAP testings are usually very stressing and boring. Practically, the only thing that encourages me to do it well and not ust put random things (It doesn't count as you GPA in school) is that these scores can count on your further life like universities or so. Nevertheless, with all the stress caused by the test (They are very long), you still get satisfaction with seeing your scores (Of course, if they are good). This is the case for me. I love to see my peers have lower scores than I do and so I feel superior. That's one of the only thigns I like about MAP testing. Practically, the system is really good for making these tests and so I wouldn't change anything. I conclusion, these MAP tests are just another thing in school that stresses you.
