Dear Dr. DeSpain,
Here are the ways that I want to achieve an A in CODE120 and how I will achieve them.
1A: demonstrates ability and commitment to collaboratively work across and within community contacts and structures. (10%)
In my opinion, this means that I need to be able to work well with others while helping to improve the community, yet still keeping order and design of a project. I will demonstrate this by taking notes on how well I work with others and how I contribute in the group setting.
2B: takes risks and approaches to learning to create new knowledge. (20%)
In other words, this means that I will use my risks and failures to grow. I will demonstrate this by recording my failures, or when I take new risks. For example, if I try a new riding style or a new research method in my reflections, digital projects, or during in class discussions.
8C: develops clear, innovative central messages with significant supporting materials. (20%)
In my words, this means that I will need to be able to deliver the theme of a story/article by using evidence. I will demonstrate this by always citing my sources and trying to summarize better through my reflections.
11A: evaluates texts, scholarly significance to apply reading to other contacts or issues. (30%)
This means that I will be able to annotate and relate a text, or article to previous knowledge. I will demonstrate this by showing my annotations, and showing how I connect them to real world situations through my reflections. Also, through my annotations of our readings.
13C: uses language to skillfully communicate with clarity and fluency (20%)
In my words, this means that I will be able to use correct grammar, and techniques to inform others. To demonstrate this, I will submit different writings that I produce to show correct grammar, and fluency. I will show this through my reflections and digital projects.
Sincerely,
Kasey Tipton
