Mid-Term Self-Check                                                  
Where Are You Now?

Name: ____________________________________________________						Date: ________________

We are now half way through the semester. It is time to do a mid-course check on your expectations, intentions, and accomplishments so far. Respond to the questions below as honestly and accurately as you can so that you will know whether you are “on course” or “off-course” in your journey towards achieving your “vision” of success. This type of self-assessment makes it possible to re-orient yourself along the way while there is still time to make a difference.

Take a few minutes to think about each of your COL classes and briefly respond to the questions below. Do NOT use victim language when you are completing your chart. 

	Course:	Course:	
How have you been doing in terms of attendance and attention in class? Are you doing as well as you would like to do? Why or why not?	

		
How well have you been keeping up-to-date with your reading, homework assignments, personal study time, preparation for tests, etc.? Are you doing as well as you would like to do? Why or why not?			
What do your grades look like so far? Are you doing as well as you would like to do? Why or why not?

		

How accurate have your expectations been about your courses and your studying to this point? What has been surprising, unexpected, or especially challenging? Have you met your own intentions of how you would be doing? Why or why not?

How well have you been managing your use of time? Are you organized enough to get the important things done in your schoolwork and your life? Why or why not?

 
What do you want to keep doing and what changes do you need to make to stay on course towards success? When and how will you begin? Be specific.

What changes in the course can I make to help support your success?
