Introduction
Year 2 sem 1: Year 2, already flying by so quickly that I wouldn’t know where to start with an intro. But i’ll say that this year has already been pretty eventful, from visiting to gardens multiple times within the past couple months. or just us even getting ready to make a plan for our project. The past year and a bit of CODES I have learned a lot in such a short amount of time. I think currently i’m doing well with just completing work, as there is a lot yet so little time to do it. I think somehting I am struggling with is communication when it comes to collaberation, as even though I am in the same group I was last semeseter there are still ups and downs to being in a group.
Goal 1 (20%)
b. Connects and extends knowledge from academic study to civic engagement.
this shows how I am able to review and learn about how to interact with people. mainly the people in the garden that we directly interact with to get an idea for our projects. This helped me better develop the skill of self- assessment and connect what I learn in class to what I learn when I am at the garden. Something I might change is possibly my elaboration when I talk/ write about things.
Goal 2 (20%)
| b. Uses deep knowledge of global systems to develop and advocate for informed, appropriate action to solve complex problems. |
we have yet to aquire any more data for our project at the moment since we are working on our implementation plan. So it will have what we want to do for how we are going to start collecting more data. something I could do differently is start looking for things related to our project just to be prepared.
Goal 3 (20%)
| a. Uses clear organizational patterns and is skillful at presenting content cohesively. |
Sadly I have yet to present, I know I have had an oppertunity. But due to me not knowing how our “dear sean letter” looked finished, I didn’t have confidence in my presenting abilities. I learned that I should prepare for anything that might happen with our project, as there is a theme when we are working and suddenly have something different than we thought. Something I might do next time is start doing extra work just in case something goes wrong. As I should start planning for the worst.
Goal 4 (20%)
| a. Helps collaboration move forward by articulating the merits of alternative ideas. |
This shows how i am able to collaborate with others by doing my section that I agreed to do. While I am able to suggest alternative ideas for this collberation didn’t need anymore input other than what I said I was going to write. I learned how to better collaberate with my teammates. Something I might do differently is take on a little more work just in case.
Goal 5 (20%)
| b. Identifies and evaluate multiple approaches for solving problems. |
This shows how I am able to reflect on our first visit to the garden and being able to change our idea on what we wanted to do originally. A skill that I learned is compromise, because we all had something we wanted to do but decided to change it to better fit what we wanted to do. I can’t think of anything that I would do differently right now.
