Action

1. Take part more within lessons and lectures, ask questions instead of guessing something, work with and help others to overcome problems, socialize outside of lessons.
2. use reading material to extend my knowledge, ask questions about things i am unsure about or want to know about, keep attending lectures, work outside of university by studying and going over lesson notes and lecture presentations again, also regularly attempt extra exercises, such as building websites, so that i gain experience.
3. take more notes in class, blog at the end of different sessions so that i don't have to do it at a later date, add any information to the blog no matter how small, and keep the content interesting by updating on previous parts of the blog
4. Focus on the course as much as possible, so i can achieve higher grades, and also understand more from the course, but as well as focusing on the course, also make sure that i perhaps get a job before going on to my ideal career that is in a similar area, then advance to a full career within that area of work.
