First-Week Introduction

[Complete the goal-setting portions of your class portfolio by choosing your goals, going over the syllabus in detail, and explaining what assignments you may use to demonstrate how you have been developing in those areas and what will best demonstrate your progress. Then, write a brief introduction here where you explain why you chose your five goals. What assignment makes you most excited for the semester? Which one seems like it will be the most challenging? What strategies do you want to set for yourself to make the semester a success?]

Midterm Introduction

[Speak about the skills and content you’ve learned during the first half of the semester. What did you most enjoy? What did you struggle with? What goals do you think you’ve most excelled at meeting and what do you want to continue developing during the second half of the semester? What goals haven’t you yet met, and how will you make them a priority in the second half of class?]

Final Introduction

[Now that the semester is over, use your introduction to reflect in-depth on your process. How well did you meet the goals you set out to meet? What did you learn that surprised you? Focusing on your goals for this class, what do you want to remember to take with you into your future courses? What strategies can you use to continue developing toward these goals?]

What will You do to learn/develop this skill?What Examples Will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate learning.What characteristics would demonstrate that I have met my goal.
I will start by writing down the problem/assumption and then first research the reasoning behind the problem of assumption. After I found the research, I will fit everything into categories to find similarities then make several options to solve the problem.My examples will consist of me uploading mind maps pictures/spiderwebs.I will be able to demonstrate growth by producing papers or an oral presentation, which show how I got to where I did.
What will You do to learn/develop this skill?What Examples Will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate learning.What characteristics would demonstrate that I have met my goal.
I will develop this skill by writing first researching then creating a central idea. Then finding issues that branch off then doing surface layer research on how it continues to the main idea.My examples will consist of me uploading mind maps pictures/spiderwebs. outlineI will be able to demonstrate growth by producing a podcast and keep the topic organized.

And Notes I have taken.I’ll be able to show that I’ve met this goal by being able to produce A podcast. That has a clear central idea and a message at the end
