Introduction
Sem 2: Even in the second semester there is still so much to learn with CODES as a whole. I have enjoyed being able to work with my classmates to learn more about them and work better together as a team. Since this is only the second semester it still comes with a lot of learning, that is learned by doing and not just the work but also collaborating to understand the bigger part of CODES. Currently I think I am doing well with making sure my work is done and helping others when they struggle. I think I can continue to work on my work as there is always something that can be improved on.
Sem 2 part 2: The second part of this semester felt like it flew by so quickly. I still have 3 years ahead of me to get a better understanding of CODES but I am starting to understand better than I originally did. Currently I am doing well understanding the work and getting it in when I need to. I think there is always room for improvement when it comes to my work, so I will just keep working to make sure it’s the best I can make it.
Goal 1 (20%)
8 a) Use clear wording and organization in a skilled way to present cohesively
Since we haven’t had a chance to present, I do not have anything to add for this goal. I hope in the second part of the semester I will be able to have something for this goal.
Part 2: This wasn’t presented. But it demonstrates my ability to use what I learned from this class and apply it to what I was working on. As I used clear wording and I think I organized it in a way that is can eb easily read and understood.
Goal 2 (20%)
| 5 c) Responsibly integrates research and demonstrates full understanding of the ethical and legal restrictions on information use. |
The only thing that could demonstrate my learning so far is through my reflections, as it shows that I am able to fully understand what is being asked of me and use the texts and websites responsibly without causing issue.
Part 2: This demonstrates my ability to understand websites and also respect the data that was provided to me from this website. As this data only has the numbers, graphs, and people who made the site. It shows how much can actually go into a data set and I learned so much about looking into other data sets along with this one.
Goal 3 (20%)
| 10 a)Skillfully represents quantitative information. |
This demonstrates my ability to acquire data by just watching the people and things around me. This data I collected was to show the urgency of people in Peck Hall and what they were doing when they entered the building.
Part 2: This demonstrates my ability to look at data and write an essay on it. As this is the data I used for my final, which in the beginning was a little difficult to actually find something with data. But in the end I think I did pretty well using it to finish my final for this class.
Goal 4 (20%)
| 3 c) Applies ethical concepts to a question and considers their full implications. |
By look at the second reflection I have done it demonstrates my ability to ethically ask people questions and interview them without issue. It also talks about my experience with interviewing people and what I thought of it.
Part 2: I’d say my very last reflection on this page applies ethical concepts. As this reflection was about data cleaning and if it can help or hurt what the data is being used for. In my opinion data cleaning can be good sometimes if there is unusable data, otherwise it’s just a jumbled mess to figure out.
Goal 5 (20%)
| 2 b)Takes risks in assignments and in approaches to learning to create new knowledge. |
By looking at the first reflection on this page it demonstrates my ability to be able to reflect on a source. While also showing that risks can be taken even if they aren’t very big ones. Since every reflection is different there can be many different ways at looking at the source and presenting what I think about it. I think a thing I can work on is maybe taking bigger risks to see how it turns out in the long run.
Part 2: This demonstrates my ability to annotate and understand a reading. While being able to take notes on what I think could be important for a conversation. Since sometimes I can forget to write annotations I think I need to get better about writing them and making sure I can add whatever I think to a conversation.
