For the first block I have selected two of my reflections that I had received 10/10 points on.
The next piece of information that I am adding is Evitt and I’s presentation. We got a 50/50 on the total presentation with the nerves of being the first group to present. (Clicking the link will take you to view the presentation itself.)
The third piece of information that I am adding to show that I have completed the eportfolio to the best of my ability is my first test. I got a 60/90 but with Dr. Aranda’s blessing I was able to bring it up to a 79/90.
For the final addition to my CODE 220 section proving that I have completed my contract to my best ability is Evitt and I’s final product of our research paper.
I just want to take this section to thank Dr. Aranda and my peers for this semester. I have had a blast during this class and this semester. I have learned so much and every time people ask how my classes are going, I go out of my way to explain how CODES has changed me as an individual. I respect everything we do in codes, and I am ready for the next chapter implementing everything we have been taught into our projects for our subgroups. I never thought that I would be able to call an entire class my close friends, I feel like I can express the way I feel about anything to them without feeling degraded. I want to thank CODES as a whole for the memories and fun times.
