Dear Dr. Hildebrandt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the ways that I believe I have achieved an A in our research team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5A: Defines the scope of research questions effectively and selects information cogently to address them. (15%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my words, this means that I have been able to know what questions mean and have been able to dive deeper in them. I have demonstrated this in our source analysis. I have dove deep when analyzing new articles. This portion will be worth 15% of my grade. I feel as though I struggle with really comprehending deep subjects, but I have improved this skill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is an example of how I analyzed an image from the archives at the Botanical Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 A: Explores a topic in depth, yielding a rich awareness and\/or little-known information indicating intense interest in the subject. (15%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my words, this means that I have researched topics in order to fully understand them. I have demonstrated this in our multimodal compositions. I have demonstrated a strong knowledge in the topics. This portion will be worth 15% of my grade. I believe I am fairly good at this. I would like to still improve on my analysis skills, but overall I am fairly confident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been able to demonstrate this in MC 2. Below is a list of sources I used:<\/p>\n\n\n

9B: Identifies and evaluates multiple approaches for solving problems. (15%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that I have tried to solve problems from different angles. I have demonstrated these during class discussions, or when trying to pick out new articles\/evidence that we can use to help solve our problems. This percentage will be worth 15% of my grade. I feel as though I tend to struggle to think outside the box, so this is a skill I have improved on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To demonstrate this skill, I had found the article below online that we will use for a future source analysis next semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/epdf\/10.1073\/pnas.2217564120<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 A: Skillfully represents quantitative information. (20%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means I am able to show numerical data. I will demonstrate this by making charts and\/or graphs when we are using numerical data. Also, taking numerical data notes when we visit the garden (if necessary). This section will be worth 20% of my grade. I am very good at this skill, it is very comfortable for me to work with numerical data and creating graphs and charts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did not have too many opportunities to work with numerical data. However, I did make several charts, in order to show our information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 C: Works independently toward goals by contributing and meeting deadlines. (35%)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a group setting, I have done the work I need to do on time in order for the group to succeed. I have demonstrated this when we are working in groups, whether it be in class, or in smaller groups within our research team. This section will be worth 35% of my grade. I believe this goal can be separated into two different sections because it mentions individually, but it relates to group work. I am very good at this. However, I feel as though in working in a group setting, I have improved. I believe that I work better individually, and I believe that I have learned how to work better in a group. I always turned assignments in before the deadline and I always tried my best in a group setting to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to help our class grow, I took notes during our zoom\/in person meeting with the MOBOT team. Below are the notes I took:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, during the whole semester, I always had my work done on time, if not early. Below are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n
