I choose these five goals because it is important to help me grow more as a student and wanting to improve more and more as a student. These goals show that I am very open to growing more as a student, and wanting to improve more and more. I am excited to work more in my class with improving more on my assignments throughout the semester. Being able to know how to solve problems of the readings and even being able to look at them a certain way to help me more and more.
Midterm Introduction
I’ve learned throughout the first half of the semester is about about the focus groups and how the researchers use the focus group with a lot of people normally 5 or more in the group to get information out of them. I enjoyed learning more about surveys and the different research methods. I struggle with making sure I understand all of the assignments that need to be done in class. Collaboration- c (Works independently toward goals by contributing and meeting deadlines) because I’ve been working independently and making sure I am meeting all of the deadlines. I want to continue to making sure that I am continuing to meet the deadlines that need to be met. Reading- c (Reads using an appropriate lens and can engage in continuing dialogue within and beyond a discipline or a community of readers) because I haven’t talked much in class which I want to work more on doing while in class.
