1. Identifying your motivations
Comment on why you are taking the foundation year.
• What are your personal motivations? 
• What are your objectives, what do you want to achieve as a result of the degree? 
• How do you think your motivation affect the way you study? 
• Are other aspects of your university life, besides your formal study influenced by 
your motivations?
2. Calibrating your judgement 
We set interim tests and examinations for you (and us) to monitor your progress.
One thing you need to learn during your university career is how to make an objective,  
honest and realistic estimation of your likely achievements
Then following any exam or marked test, reflect on how things went, what you actually  
achieved and what you could do to build on your progress in the future.
• What marks did you think you would get for the Maths A exam?*  
o After your revision, before you sat the exam
o After the exam, before you got your results
• What marks did you actually get? 
• How accurate were your predictions? Why were you so accurate/inaccurate?
* If the Maths exam has not been the most demanding aspect of your work so far, apply 
this analysis to another area such as your English proficiency. The important thing is to be 
objective
3. Evaluating your progress
Comment on how you have been progressing on the Foundation Year ……..
• Describe your progress during the year, attendance, and achievements, settling in. you can use 
marks and test scores as evidence
• Consider your progress in the context of your objectives and motivations.
4. Knowing yourself: Judgement, ambition, 
objectivity and planning to learn
Questions: 
What mark did you achieve in Maths A?
Comment on the marks from the different 
perspectives below. For example:
How did you feel when you knew your results?

achievement? Typical examples below:
