The purpose of this worksheet is to write down your POC (point of confusion),

define some vocabulary that is used, and write what you already know about your POC.

Whenever I get the worksheet, I always find it hard to find a problem to do the TRF on

and write a good POC. I also thought that as soon as I found my point of confusion, that

it will be easy to write the steps and show the work. One of my goals before I begun was

to get better scores than I did in 9th grade.. My other goal was to be able to ask questions

to lead the presenter to solving their POC, which is hard because I am very shy.

One decision I took was to do my TRFs the day before they were do because I

always have trouble finding a POC to complete my TRF. Another decision I took was

looking at how others organized the info and how they showed work/write steps so that I

would know how to do it. A third decision that I took was taking breaks in between the

sections so that I would not get tired quickly and so that I could restore my energy by

eating. I also decided to use my other TRFs so that I would know what changes I could

make in order to get a better score. A last decision I took was trying to answer all of the

questions so that I could get closer to solving my problem and wrote down the steps to

clarify anything for the group and I.

What I learned about completing the TRFs was that, it is hard for me to find real

POCs because I either know how to do problems, or I do not know how I can write it on a

TRF. I excelled on getting passing grades for my TRFs like a score of 55+. I need to
improve on asking questions during tutorials and my Show Work/Steps section. Next

time I am going to take my time completing the TRFs and try my best to ask questions.

Something that made me proud of myself was being able to get a passing score, since I

usually get bad scores.

I communicated ideas by sharing to my group members, what I need help on and

what I already know how to do. I also communicated ideas because I shared my

knowledge with others, which allowed me to help even the group members who did not

present. I recognized and weighed perspectives by seeing how others TRFs, are different

or similar to mine. I was also able to recognize and weigh perspectives by seeing how

others are able to help the group members and how they help the presenter.
