Complete this section the night (or 2) before your unit exam. In this space, reflect on the effort you put into learning the
information in the unit and propose a score (___/30 points) for your “unit preparation” grade. Explain why you earned
this score.
Unit Reflection and Study Tracker
Directions: Tell me what work you did over the course of this unit to prepare yourself to do well on the exam. As you
explain each type of work you did, include as much detail as you can.
