First-Week Introduction
My goal is to improve in my collaboration with others and my work ethics in and out of the classrooms. I am going to put myself more into my work and improve my organization skills, so I do not feel as disoriented towards my assignments. I also want to not be afraid to ask questions so I understand the work more so I can improve the work I created.
Midterm Introduction
[Speak about the skills and content you’ve learned during the first half of the semester. What did you most enjoy? What did you struggle with? What goals do you think you’ve most excelled at meeting and what do you want to continue developing during the second half of the semester? What goals haven’t 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?]
