First-Week Introduction

I chose these five goals to change my actions in a more positive way. I do not want to always take the easy route. I would like to expand my skills to learn new things in different ways. One thing I am excited about this semester is the labs. I think the labs will allow my peers and me to look at things through a different lens. We will be doing a different kind of research that we haven’t done before. I also think this will be the most challenging, but in a good way. This will make sure we have an open mind towards multiple solutions to research. Some strategies I want to set for myself this semester towards success are making sure my group is on top of things together and making sure I know what is being discussed beforehand.

Midterm Introduction

Some skills I have learned this first half of the semester are how to create a survey, use Zotero, and interact more with community partners. I enjoyed going to Heartlands and working with community partners to come up with important ideas for the survey. I liked the opportunity to be able to share knowledge with them and learn from them. What I struggle with the most so far is that in my group, I sometimes feel like I have a bigger load than others. Some of the goals I think I have been able to reach are civic engagement, collaboration, and reading. I think I need to work on skills for lifelong learning.

Final Introduction

I can’t believe this is the last week of my freshman year research CODES class. I enjoyed getting to know my cohort and the faculty. I would not be as far as I am now without them. Throughout the semester, I think I did a good job reaching my goals. I can say I believe I was a better colleague and student, taking on a bigger role this semester. Some things I learned that surprised me were taking soil samples, finding the themes from the interviews, and learning how to create a Scrollytelly. A few things I am going to take with me to future courses are the skill to create surveys, transcribing interviews to code themes, and analyzing after labs. Strategies I can use to continue developing towards my goals are pushing my hardest to try to be a great team member.

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 -1a-20%

1) Civic Engagement : demonstrates ability and commitment to collaboratively work across and within community contexts and structures.

[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]

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?
-Work with my group without giving any issues -Interact with community partners -Do well in group discussions	-My two SA discussion’s -Scrolly Telling presentation with my group – Group work – Notes	-Responsibility with due dates -Great communication when presenting with groups -good interaction with community partners

This evidence shows my discussion questions for my source analysis discussion. I was prepared with my questions in my notes ahead of time. I also did more questions just in case if my group partners didn’t. This shows me being responsible knowing the information needed for me to lead my discussion.

-Poster from Heartlands Collaboration ( I don’t have the physical artifact. It did not get sent to me by my group.)

The poster for the Heartlands collaboration was a poster created to help come up with questions and a theme for our survey. Within this shared time with the partners, I communicated a lot. I also learned new knowledge from the partners about my topic. We were able to come up with a lot of questions together as a team. Additionally, throughout this meeting if I had questions my group or the partners could not answer, I went to ask Dr.Martinez.

-Calls/Meetings with Community Partners

The meeting calls with our community partners, Heartland Conservancy, helped me demonstrate civic engagement because I could effectively communicate our research plans, methods, and questions to them. I took in their feedback and allowed it to progress my team and I’s research. While on these calls, I played a major role in using my voice to communicate and infrom our community partners.

Scrollytelly-https://iris-stories.github.io/codes2028-engaging-young-adults

Creating a scrolly telly allowed me to reach the goal of civic engagement because I could work with my team to create something about the different varieties of research we worked on, and the result turned out well. We communicated and put this project together.

Goal 2 (20%)– 12C- Collaboration – Works independently toward goals by contributing and meeting deadlines.

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?
-Read articles thoroughly on my own -Annote readings -Keep myself up to date on things -Try not to procrastinate	-Source Analysis – Eportfolio updates on time -My communication with my class mates -Lab work	-Accountability -Communication -Responsibility -Perseverance

These two images of evidence I am including shows my collaboration with my colleagues. I like to hold myself accountable and help my team members do the same.

[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade). Show how you have improved over time, what methods you took to grow, and talk about what you still plan to do in the future. ]

Goal 3 (20%)- 8b- Oral Communication -Uses compelling, appropriate delivery techniques.

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?
-Practice speeches/presentations – Work on putting information in an organized way for the audience to understand -talk to class more	–Scrollytelling project – Conversation with community partners -Discussion Vocab -practices with class	-good pronunciation – audience with good feedback -being responsible and practicing ahead of time -participation

-Team Communication

I do not have any physical artifacts for this goal. Yet, I would like to say my oral communication with my group and my communication when having source analysis discussions. Within my oral communication with my group, I communicate how proud I am when they work hard. My team hearing the reassurance allows me to work on how I orally communicate with my team.

-Source analysis discussions

Within my oral communication with source analysis discussions, I always make sure to participate to let my team know I can help contribute. When contributing, I make sure what I am stating is relevant and needed. I can effectively talk to my team about our articles.

^ Group Facetime to prepare for scrollytelly presentation.

Within the group practicing for our presentations, I was able to work on my oral communication. We went over parts to ensure our speech was efficient. Doing this allows us to be familiar with the information and speak with credibility.

-Calls/Meeting with Community Partners

Within meetings/calls with community partners. While on these calls, I played a major role in using my voice to communicate and inform our community partners. When speaking, I came orally prepared.

Goal 4 (20%)- 11C- Reading – Reads using an appropriate lens and can engage in a continuing dialogue within and beyond a discipline or a community of readers

This goal is important for staying informed in an ever-changing world and academic success. I will also be able to contribute to my peers by giving them my perspective of(20%)-
