First-Week Introduction
I choose my 5 goals hoping to improve on my data analysis, being able to analyze and communicate that knowledge others. This semester I’m excited about getting the opportunity to be at the JJK foundation more and teach a lesson. At the moment my group is planning to do a water infrastructure fair with different tables that have interactive activities that teach kids about plants. The most challenging assignment will be data collection, I believe this because getting in contact with the community can be a challenge at times. One strategy I want to set to make myself more successful is using my time wisely. Time management is great skill especially codes making use of your time and staying ahead will help me better my end result.
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?]
