Evitt Nashed

I feel as if this first semester flew by! Having Codes once a week is pretty different than having it three times a week since it is a lot longer. In the beginning of the semester, I didn’t find any benefit from the jigsaws, or reflections but later on I now realize this is all helping me achieve my science communication. Having a science class is pretty different because the last time I had one was in high school. Science has always been my weakest subjects, but Dr. Aranda does an amazing job on teaching us these lectures.

1st goal- Global Learning (25%)

All these reflections give insights on how I am learning about global issues. The first screenshot shows me learning about evolution of skin color. The second screenshot shows me analyzing a chapter in braiding sweetgrass and applying it to my life. The third screenshot shows what I’ve learned about Billie Eilish and her climate change actions.

2nd Goal- Information Literacy (25%)

This screenshot shows my partner and I forming a research question for our project and identifying 10 articles.

This screenshot shows the introduction of Cullen and I’s research. The introduction is to give some information about the reason on why we picked this topic and what we would like to figure out overall. This introduction also gives some facts about indigenous knowledge.

3rd Goal- Problem Solving (25%)

My first unit exam shows proof of me problem solving with certain scientific questions about the jigsaws and also about how to form a scientific question. this first exam gives me a good idea on how I can better my performance for the next final one.

4th goal- Quantitative research (25%)
