First Week Introduction
Sophomore year! I am very excited to jump back into this water equity and conservation issue and interact with the youth at JJK. I hope to establish good connections with educators at JJK and create a lasting impact with their program. I chose the following goals to really dive deeper into interacting with our mentors and relate classroom material to real-world situations at JJK. Most of these goals will be completed individually, as we are switching gears into our more personally curated products. I am excited for our many site visits and ultimately our water fair with these after school kiddos. I am nervous about constructing a product that is as complex and detailed as I have it outlined in my head 🙂 I want to focus on doing things with a purpose this semester. I don’t want to complete a reflection because it is an assignment that is due, but instead view it as an opportunity to indulge myself in my research.
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?]
