First-Week Introduction
I choose those five goals for myself because I feel like these goals could help better shape my knowledge for the class, our problems, and the real world. Going back on the site visits excite me the most about this semester because the site visits are not only fun but essentially gives us a break from the classroom while still learning more about our problems. An assignment that I feel will be more challenging for me would be the scrollytelling. To make this semester a success, strategies I want to set for my self are to really stay focused this semester.
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?]
