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

We learned a lot about the data collection process. I enjoyed learning more Indepth of the statistics needed for data collection. I struggled with patient it takes to make the necessary process of creating the perfect survey. I have most excelled at making suggestions in my group to move it forwarded. I need to approve more in my oral communication. I will work more with notecards on my oral communication and making notes.

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?]

Course Goals

Choose five goals from the CODES Student Learning Outcomes that you’d like to work toward. Choose goals that are relevant to the scope of this course, select artifacts/examples based on activities assigned for this course, and explain characteristics in a way that illustrates how your artifacts/examples demonstrate your progress toward the goal.

Goal 1 (30%)
Based on (13C): Be able to communicate clearly and efficient through my writing

I will make sure to use appropriate vocabulary and add my personality to my writing	What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning?	What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal?
I will try to use more advance vocabulary by doing more research on them and adding more of a personal touch to the writing	Survey questions Story telling projects source analysis	Survey questions will show my ability to communicate my questions to others my ability to showcase my story to others through writing Source analysis will show my ability to understanding the reading and writing my thought process throughout

“How do you think society oppresses and silences Grassroot organizations?” I made this question during my turn as discussion lead. I believe it shows my ability to not only understand text but also enough to write coherent question.

 “The natives’ innovative ways of building mounds and their use of nature to incorporate their culture and last over centuries. I like the connections that a lot of native tribes have of recreating things in nature we take for granted.” In this writing I clearly communicate my understanding of the history of natives and my appreciations of it.

Goal 2 (15%)
Based on (8b): I want to make my oral communications more complying and interesting to listen to

What will you do to learn the content/ develop the skill?	What examples will you add to the portfolio to demonstrate your learning?	What characteristics of the chosen examples demonstrate you have met your goal?
I will practice my speeches beforehand and use notecards/ writing my speeches before hand	discussions of story telling Final presentations	I will show organization during my discussion and knowledge of what I’m speaking of during story telling I will communicate my understanding and knowledge to others vocally

“Why Grassroot Organizations are Essential for Sustainability by Jane Marsh 

• They explain what grassroots organizations are as ordinary people coming together to help communities in need
• They believe that grassroots are important because Sustainability solutions should start small and grow connections, in which they hope that the work will multiply
• Small differences in society are still important and beneficial
• Gave examples of grassroot organizations that work to save the environment 
• DECOIN is a grassroot in Ecuador that aims to help post mining effects. They focus on biodiversity. ” These are notes I wrote to help me through discussion leads so I could have a better verbal communication during my presentation.

“Marrisa is 98% white according to statistical vs. Centerville 91% black population” I decided to go out of my way to learn the actual statistics of the town to see if it supported my theory of racial mistreatment.

“‘This is the most robust measure so far of cerebral differences between homosexual and heterosexual subjects,’ she says.

Previous studies have also shown differences in brain architecture and activity between gay and straight people, but most relied on people’s responses to sexuality driven cues that could have been learned, such as rating the attractiveness of male or female faces” (Andy Coghlan).
