First-Week Introduction
The reason why I chose these five goals is because I want to advance my knowledge and skills in areas that I feel are crucial to the work we are striving to do. I want to be in control of my biases while also gaining knowledge about the world around me, and this will allow me to grow as a researcher, presenter, and person overall. The assignment that makes me most excited for the semester is the Ethical Research Labs because I am interested in doing some hands on work, and this will be the start of that. The assignment that seems like it will be the most challenging is the final project because I’ve never done a scrollytelling presentation, so I believe it will take some effort to not only learn how to do it, but also how to execute it in the way we want. The main strategy that I want to set for myself to make the semester a success is plain and simple. Don’t procrastinate. This made everything worse last semester, so I want to change that coming into this one.
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?]
Course Goals
Choose five goals from the CODES Student Learning Outcomes that you’d like to work toward. Choose goals that are relevant to the scope of this course, select artifacts/examples based on activities assigned for this course, and explain characteristics in a way that illustrates how your artifacts/examples demonstrate your progress toward the goal.
Goal 1 (15%)
Based on 6a: Articulates own cultural rules and biases and recognizes and responds to biases. Write out Goal in your own words:
| What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill? | What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning? | What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal? |
| – Pay attention to how my upbringing and experiences affect my choices and day-to-day life – Force myself to think with an open mind without the influence of my background | – Survey Ethical Research Lab #1 – Interview Ethical Research Lab #3 – Final Project | – Survey Ethical Research Lab #1: Create a survery that does not have biases and is impartial – Interview Ethical Research Lab #3: Create a interview that does not have biases and is impartial – Final Project: Create a scrollytelling devoid of bias that showcases the data we collected |
[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade).
