Dear Dr. Smith
In order for me to achieve A Work in CODE 123, I have set goals for myself for the remainder of my college career and how I’ll show that I have accomplished them.
3c. Applies ethical concepts to a question and considers their full implications. (20%)
- I wanted this to be one of my goals since we are diving deeper into research. I want to be able to understand the topics that we are researching. Broadening my spectrum will allow me to learn more. I plan to show this by applying the newly learned knowledge in future assignments.
5a. Defines the scope of research questions effectively and selects information cogently to address them. (20%)
- I chose this goal also because of the research but I’ve never been the best at selecting the correct information or asking myself questions before I do the research. I will show this by comparing work that is completed.
7a. Explores a topic in depth, yielding a rich awareness and/or little-known information indicating intense interest in the subject. (20%)
- I want to be able to understand the research that I am taking part in, this goal kind of piggy-backs off of my first goal but focusing on a certain specific subject. I will show my understanding of this goal by giving good information from the topic.
10c. Uses quantitative information to support arguments and draw logical conclusions. (20%)
- I chose this goal because I want to be able to back up arguments with the information learned. Also, I want to be able to have good conclusions with correct information. I will show this by comparing my starting research information to my ending research information.
12c. Works independently toward goals by contributing and meeting deadlines. (20%)
- I chose this goal because I have always had a struggle with completing my assignments or starting them. I will show this by turning my work in by the due date.
