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

For the spring 2024 semester, here are ways I have demonstrated how I believe I have achieved 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 think that I have improved 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 have used skillful research strategies to find informative sources. I have demonstrated this skill when choosing\/adding resources within our necessary knowledge document, or when choosing a website\/article we have used for a Source Analysis. Additionally, I have demonstrated this throughout our labs. I have chosen credible sources with informative topics based on what we are discussing\/learning about. The websites\/articles I added to the necessary knowledge document, have helped 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are examples of sources that I have found that are added to our Necessary Knowledge Document. I found these articles in order for our group to potentially use some for our source analysis, and to gain more knowledge on botany and how it relates to indigenous knowledge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\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 have been able to present information in a skilled way and my work is organized proficiently. I have demonstrated 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

Here is an example of notes I had taken during a zoom call with MOBOT. I have been improving my organization skills. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

10C: Uses quantitative information to support arguments and draw logical conclusions <\/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 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

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an example of a graph we made from our survey results. We transformed qualitative data into quantitative. <\/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. <\/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

Our first source analysis was due on 1\/24. I turned it in before the due date. Additionally, I have turned in all of my other SA\u2019s on time, and any other assignments we have had.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\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. <\/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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Here is an example of my source analysis bullet points when I was presenting to our class. Even though I was still nervous presenting, I feel as though I did a really good job talking about my source.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
