    Performance review

    Kayla Fils-Aime did a job well done for her first semester at kean university. Of course there were some bumps in the road but she handled them like a champ by reaching out to her family, friends, professors, advisors and/or counselors. Weather or not kayla needed to attend tutoring or clarification on a certain lesson she seeked time for it anyway. There is no better time than the present. Kayla kept her schedule tight and made sure she was always ahead of the game then behind.But still had a good balance for leisure activities, downtime and academics. Kayla knew if and when she felt overwhelmed to take a break walk outside, grab a coffee or even meet with a friend, she occupied herself with something other than stressing over her assignment(s). Kayla was always one who would always advocate for herself. She also asked questions whenever she was in doubt. Kayla didn’t let any challenge have control over her. She rather work through them through the help of those who are experienced.She diligently worked hard at anything put encounters. She kept a very strong work ethic through the course of her semesters at kean university. Kayla naturally had a good relationship with most of professors, she explained to them her needs and her weakness in the classroom. She Conversed on ways to overcome and work at being accommodated and succeed her first year,

    T2K Day 2

    Carlos has excelled in class through out the year. He has given his all in every project that has come his way. He works wonderfully with class mates, listens and understands ideas as well as express his own. He is a wonderful team player that will consider other ideas in order to improve on his own. A constant need to improve his art skills, and his ability to create. He is a constant challenger of his own mind and capabilities. He has worked hard, and handed in every assignment on time and with little to no mistakes or flaws. He has been the first in class, and the last to leave. He is simply a joy to have in class and from what I’ve heard a great friend and class mate as well. He is always ready to lend a helping hand, and encourage his classmates to succeed, as well as grow and improve with him.

    I have to prioritize the following in order to achieve these goals

    1. Always put my work first, get homework done
    2. Constantly push the boundaries and try to reinvent myself as an artist and designer
    3. Constantly help and encourage my class mates
    4. Show up to every class and pay attention, and take as many notes as possible
    5. Stay on task and prioritize correctly without jeopardizing my social life
    6. Have fun and enjoy college because it goes by fast
