As I reflect on this semester, there are many things I noticed about my growth in certain skills and improvements I need for others. I felt that the final project really helped me showcase Goal 12. A & C. The way it was set up was a collaborative final in which we each needed to do our own part. I did not have much opportunity to work on Goal 6.C and 4.A, but I hope to have more opportunities to improve on them in the future. I did not take any risks with assignments this semester, but I hope to next semester. I changed some percentages of certain goals due to whether or not I had the ability to showcase them this semester.
Goal 2.A (25%)
[I will be able to explain problems precisely and provide appropriate data and information.]
Above are pictures of my annotated readings, summaries, and a brainstorm plot done in my Transdisciplinary class. The brainstorming map helps shows my ability in finding underlying factors to one problem and connecting them back to each other. My readings and annotations helps to show my ability in identifying what problem the author is trying to portray me and how.
Goal 4.A (15%)
[I will be able to adapt and apply a good comprehension of various worldviews and experiences while initiating important associations with other cultures to address serious worldwide issues.]
Above is my reflection to a research me and my classmates conducted. This reflections demonstrates me getting different viewpoints of a serious worldwide problems from people of different races and cultures. If given the oppurtunity to do this again, I feel it would be best to make an electronic form for people to fill out anonymously to make them feel more comfortable with giving certain answers.
Goal 6.C (15%)
[I will be able to ask complex questions about others’ beliefs and culture and find and communicate answers to these questions that consider various cultural viewpoints.]
Above is a picture of me at my friend’s birthday party. In this picture are also all of my other friends who also attended. This artifact is to show the diverse connections I have made. I have learned lots of new things from all of these people who come from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, races, etc. With this, I am able to achieve the goal above by getting insight and knowledge from different perspectives.
Goal 9. A&B (20%)
[I will be able to provide appropriate evidence to insightful problem statements and be able to provide various solutions to problems I discover.]
Above is the Final Project for our Research Team class. I believe this essay does a fantastic job of showcasing my skills in finding appropriate evidence for my problem statement.
Goal 12. A&C (25%)
[Through communicating the benefits of different ideas of proposals, I will be able to independently work toward the goals of the team by meeting deadlines for group assignments and equally contributing to group work.]
Above are a few examples of my answers to discussion posts. These posts help to show my participation within our Transdisciplinary class by interacting and answering the prompts my fellow peers had made.
