- Grading Contract. Review your grading contract and assess yourself. Are you on track to earn your contracted grade? Include 5 sources (e.g., participation, project) of evidence to support your assessment. Are there any revisions you want to make?
I believe I am on track to earn my contracted grade. One of my goals was based within Global Learning. I would then be assessed on this by only missing two class sessions and turning all work in on time, which I am following. Skills for lifelong learning is another goal. To be assessed I would get active in an SIUE program, I have completed this as I am a part of the America Reads program through Ameri Corps. My third goal is in the reading category. I can be assessed on this by annotating articles given in class, which I have continued to do. My last goal was in the Written Communication category. I have shown this in my work by getting A’s on written assignments and turning them in on time, for example weekly reflections. I have also been sharing out during our class discussions on Braiding Sweetgrass.
- Engagement. We have 2 jigsaws, 2 lectures, and 2 chapters of Braiding Sweetgrass left in the semester. What are 3 things I can do to keep you engaged in the second half of the semester?
I believe to keep us engaged you can continue to have us scan the QR codes during the lecture that checks our understanding of the lecture, give us work time in class with our groups, and sometimes it’s hard for me to understand other groups’ jigsaws so I think adding more information would be helpful.
- Research Project. To what extent do you feel that you and your research partner have been successful on your research project for CODE220 thus far? What are 3 changes you wish to implement moving forward?
I think the best thing for our group is making sure we are all on the same page and we each know our responsibilities for the week. I would like to continue to do this throughout the semester, something that has helped was the class time we had to meet with our group. More changes would be to communicate more and make sure all members have their portion completed on time.
- ePortfolio. You need to have an updated ePortfolio by the end of the class. Review your grading contract to determine what evidence you should include on this because the ePortfolio is a major component of your grade. Provide me the hyperlink of your ePortfolio so I can assess your progress.
