Dear Dr. Hildebrandt, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the spring 2024 semester, here are ways I will demonstrate how I will achieve an A in our research team class. I have some skills that I am already proficient at, and also some skills that I am not as confident with and would like to improve on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5B: Accesses information using effective, well-designed search strategies and appropriate sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will be worth 20% of my grade for the semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In my words, this learning outcome means that I will use skillful research strategies to find informative sources. I will demonstrate this skill when choosing\/adding resources within our necessary knowledge document, or when choosing a website\/article we may use for a Source Analysis. Additionally, I will demonstrate this throughout our labs. I will choose credible sources with informative topics based on what we are discussing\/learning about. The websites\/articles I add to the necessary knowledge document, will help my classmates and I further our research in working with the Missouri Botanical Gardens. I believe that I am okay at finding sources. However I tend to pick the first few sources that I see, so I would like to try to research more in order to find real, credible sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8A: Uses clear organizational patterns and is skillful at presenting content cohesively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will be worth 20% of my grade for the semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In my words, this learning outcome means that I will be able to present information in a skilled way and my work will be organized proficiently. I will demonstrate this skill when being a leader in discussions about our SA\u2019s. When presenting the main points and having a conversation about the SA\u2019s, I will have an organized list of points that need to be discussed. I will present these within our research team with my partner with a proficient approach and a clear understanding of the resource used for the SA. I believe that I have not mastered this skill yet, so this is an area I would like to grow and improve in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 10C: Uses quantitative information to support arguments and draw logical conclusions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will be worth 20% of my grade for the semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my words, this learning outcome means that I will be able to pull quantitative data in with qualitative data. I will be able to combine the two in a way that shows their connection. I will demonstrate this mainly in our labs. I will be able to use the data we receive, how the lab is executed, and draw conclusions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 12C: Works independently towards goals by contributing and meeting deadlines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will be worth 20% of my grade for the semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my words, this learning outcome means that I will work by myself in order to complete my work on time. I will demonstrate this by always turning my assignments in on time (unless there are unforeseen circumstances). I will strive to do my best work. I will make sure I turn in my SA\u2019s, Lab Analysis\u2019, ePortfolios, and videos on or before the due dates. I tend to be very good at this skill and it is something I would like to keep strengthening. This will force me to not procrastinate on my homework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 13 C: Uses language to skillfully communicate with clarity and fluency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This section will be worth 20% of my grade for the semester.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my words, this learning outcome means that my language will be clear and will flow smoothly will demonstrate this skill within my SA\u2019s, Lab Analysis\u2019, and when being a discussion leader. I am okay at this skill, but there is a lot of room for improvement. I would like to make sure my topics\/discussions are easy to read\/listen to because of my fluency. I would like to improve my grammar and language skills. Thanks, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kasey Tipton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Dr. Hildebrandt, For the spring 2024 semester, here are ways I will demonstrate how I will achieve an A in our research team class.
