First-Week Introduction
[Complete the goal-setting portions of your class portfolio by choosing your goals, going over the syllabus in detail, and explaining what assignments you may use to demonstrate how you have been developing in those areas and what will best demonstrate your progress. Then, write a brief introduction here where you explain why you chose your five goals. What assignment makes you most excited for the semester? Which one seems like it will be the most challenging? What strategies do you want to set for yourself to make the semester a success?]
Midterm Introduction
[Speak about the skills and content you’ve learned during the first half of the semester. What did you most enjoy? What did you struggle with? What goals do you think you’ve most excelled at meeting and what do you want to continue developing during the second half of the semester? What goals haven’t you yet met, and how will you make them a priority in the second half of class?]
Final Introduction
[Now that the semester is over, use your introduction to reflect in-depth on your process. How well did you meet the goals you set out to meet? What did you learn that surprised you? Focusing on your goals for this class, what do you want to remember to take with you into your future courses? What strategies can you use to continue developing toward these goals?]
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 2A, I will systematically analyze assumptions to develop logical plans to solve 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? |
| I will compare my assumptions to decifer if my Hypothesis was correct | Project Outline Draft 1 Project Outline Draft 2 Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 1 Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 2 | I will have the ability to put my assumptions on the wayside and get the full picture of the problem. Grades for those particular assignments are within a range of 85-100 |
One way I achieved this goal is through the Project Outlines
Another way I achieved this goal is through my Braiding Sweetgrass reflections
Goal 2 (20%)
Based on 2C, I will transform ideas through synthesizing knowledge from multiple domains.
| 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 need to use said multiple domains (sources/Books/articles) and use them to asemble a cohesive assignment | Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 1 Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 2 Research Project-10 Articles Draft Outline of 2 Project | I can connect sources to assignments with relative ease The multiple domains are well defined Grades for those particular assignments are within a range of 85-100 |
One way I achieved this goal is through my Braiding Sweetgrass reflections
Another way is through the Research Project-10 Articles
A final way is through the Draft Outline
Goal 3 (20%)
Based on 10B, I will use quantitative analysis of data to draw insightful, carefully qualified conclusions.
| 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? |
| Since this class is science based, I will use my graphs to establish the data and then analyze them. And analyzing statistics and other elated data in said assignments | Evaluating Graphs in Jigsaw Reading Assignment 1 Jigsaw Reading Assignment 2 Jigsaw Reading Assignment 3 Jigsaw summary 1 | Since this class is science based, I will use my graphs to establish the data and then analyze them. And analyzing statistics and other elated data in said assignments |
One way I have been able to achieve this goal is through the Jigsaw reading assignments.
Another way I have been able to achieve this goal is through is trough the Jigsaw summary.
Goal 4 (20%)
Based on 8C: I will develop clear, innovative central messages with significant supporting materials.
| 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 apply myself on the writing assignments with a central theme and learned to establish said theme | Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 1 Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 2 Braiding Sweetgrass Reflection 3 Week 1 Reflection | I will be able to find the core theme of a particular reading Grades for those particular assignments are within a range of 85-100 |
One way I achieved this goal is through the Braiding Sweetgrass reflections.
Another way is through the week 1 refelction
Goal 5 (20%)
Based on 5B, I will access information using effective, well-designed search strategies and appropriate sources.
| 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 need to study the information stated in said topics and relay them in a condensed assignment form | Jigsaw Reading Assignment 1 Jigsaw Reading Assignment 2 Jigsaw Reading Assignment 3 Jigsaw summary 1 | I will be able to connect a multitude of sources and assignments here to explain how they relate to each other Grades for those particular assignments are within a range of 85-100 |
One way I have been able to achieve this goal is through the Jigsaw reading assignments.
Another way I have been able to achieve this goal is through is trough the Jigsaw summary.
