First-Week Introduction
The goals that Iโve chosen for this semester/year is critical and creative thinking, ethical reasoning, written communication, information literacy, and collaboration. Iโve chose these outcomes to strengthen my critical thinking skills, learn how to think and adapt to different cultures and different perspectives that Iโm used to and grow in ways that Iโve struggled in from the previous semesters. Iโm excited for all assignments this semester. I feel as if none would be as challenging as it seems if i ask for help and use my resources. Using the resources around me and asking for help and improving on my note taking skills will help set myself up for a successful future.
Midterm Introduction
[Speak about the skills and content youโve learned during the first half of the semester. What did you most enjoy? What did you struggle with? What goals do you think youโve most excelled at meeting and what do you want to continue developing during the second half of the semester? What goals havenโt you yet met, and how will you make them a priority in the second half of class?]
Final Introduction
[Now that the semester is over, use your introduction to reflect in-depth on your process. How well did you meet the goals you set out to meet? What did you learn that surprised you? Focusing on your goals for this class, what do you want to remember to take with you into your future courses? What strategies can you use to continue developing toward these goals?]
