First-Week Introduction

This semester in codes is exciting and I’m looking forward to better things this semester.

Midterm Introduction

This midterm semester I have built relationship with my CODES groups. Recently, my group and I went to visit a site and this was very interesting to me. As we go toward the end of the semester, I look forward to experiencing more in the end.

Final Introduction

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 (20%)
Based on : (3c):Applies ethical concepts to a question and considers their full implications.

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?
I will consider the questions on my assignment and answer them with clarity.	Implementation plan reflection 2	Explanation that is understandable Answers with clarity

Before going onsite, all I needed was clarification so I can do my part with no confusing. Before going I just imagined us walking in a park. My plan, as discussed with the JJK is I will be working and researching about the species that is in that area. Not just that, I will also be designing the charts and flyer for the data me and my partner Aiden will gather. Honestly the only obstacle I would say is there is if im overloaded with work or may not understand what to do. My partners and I are excited especially since we had a good site visit and it went well and everyone knows what they are doing. Sometimes the barriers to building trust is not knowing the person, how the person act, and bad experiences from the past. I will keep in contact with my team and make sure we are on the same page and help each other out as needed. We went on the site and outside was nice but it is still in construction. We talked about the plans and how we could help out by researching certain things for the JJK. – reflection 2.

This evidence I have chose, my reflection because it shows that I applied the concept and answered the questions fully. I clarified my answers and showed my understanding. I mentioned how in our meeting we discussed our needs and implications for the future.

Eriel – The outcome of my research will be good for the JJK to help them understand what environment will be safe and healthy for the animals and other species. By me studying in the area and what animals and creatures live there, I will have a better understanding of what the need is and how all species will get along in the environment. I need to know your needs and if the information I am giving you helpful or not. I can benefit from this because it shows me what more I need to do and how you can help me get it done. Eriel: The data I will need to answer my question is ethnographies. I will observe the animals and do research on what environments are helpful to the animals. My last CODE class we collected data on ethnography and how much people liked east St. Louis parks. We went to two parks in east St. Louis and observed the parks and all that were in it. We did a group presentation on that ethnographic project on east St. Louis. By doing that ethnography in my other CODES class, I now have experience doing them and they also can benefit by the jjk an idea of what might be helpful to the environment for animals. – Implementation plan

This is another evidence for this goal. I chose this evidence because I also clarified and answered the questions presented to me. I also discussed my plan for my part and the future.

Goal 2 (20%)
Based on (4b): Uses deep knowledge of global systems to develop and advocate for informed, appropriate action to solve complex problems.

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?
	reflection 4	Clarification of the questions

Goal 3 (20%)
Based on (8A) : Uses clear organizational patterns and is skillful at presenting content cohesively.

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?
	Data on animals

Goal 4 (20%)
Based on (9b) : Identifies and evaluate multiple approaches for solving problems.

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?

Goal 5 (20%)
Based on (11C) :  Reads using an appropriate lens and can engage in a continuing dialogue within and beyond a discipline or a community of readers.
