Class Portfolio: CODE 122

Introduction

This semester has been different from the last semester regarding CODES. The rules regarding both classes have changed. I have enjoyed talking as a class in research teams, and I am ready to go back to the garden. I have not struggled with much this semester, things have been a lot lighter than last semester. I believe that I have done well with Goals 2, 3 and 5. This means that I need to work on Goals 1 and 4.

Goal #1 (20%)

12.B: Facilitates collaborators; contributions by building upon their contributions and noticing when someone is not participating and inviting them to engage.

This was a document that members of my group and I worked on. This included Alejandra, Juan, and Zachary. We all contributed and when someone was not contributing we encouraged them to.

Goal #2 (20%)

8.B: Uses compelling, appropriate delivery techniques.

This was the first source analysis that we had to do for this semester. I believe that I drove a point well and delivered it effectively.

Goal #3 (10%)

7.C: Reviews prior learning inside and outside of the classroom to reveal significantly changed perspectives about educational and life experiences.

Before CODES classes, I usually would not take notes on readings, I would usually just try to remember things unless the notes were for an assignment. Dr. Jack has made me realize that notes are a very essential tool for this class to contribute to discussions, so I took the time to read and highlight things I thought were important about this source.

Goal #4 (10%)

10.C: Uses quantitative information to support arguments and draw logical conclusions.

This was another source analysis that we were assigned to do outside of class. I believe that I was able to support my argument of the source being an effective source and what it has to offer.

Goal #5 (40%)

12.C: Works independently toward goals by contributing and meeting deadlines.

These were both source analyses that I did the day before class, showing that I like to get work done early and not have to stress about it.
