Dear Dr. Smith,
In order to achieve my goal of getting an A in CODE123, here are the goals I’ve set for myself and how I’ll show my progress towards them.
1a) Demonstrates ability and commitment to collaboratively work across and within (15%) community contexts and structures. Based on this outcome, I’ll show my portfolio via social media and other non-school related sources that will be shown in my project through this first semester.
3b) Recognizes multilayered ethical issues and the cross-relationships among them (10%). In other words, this means I would like to be able to make a point or give information and be able to spot any similarities or even differences across multiple topics and see how they coincide with one another. I’ll include any text or documents that will demonstrate this.
11.a:Evaluates texts’ scholarly significance to apply reading to other context or issues(15%). It could be evaluating a particular part in our research group and making note of what we have read that can connect to issues of race and identity outside of just school. This skill is important because making connections is key and if it’s good or bad, you can relate a situation to something that was discussed in class and how you or any information you found could relate to that topic.
As shown below, this was the reflection I did based on the article I had chosen which was The State Historical Society of Missouri and when reading this article, it goes into detail about how the SHSM uses similar techniques of showcasing and telling the public about the history of slavery, Similar as to how the Missouri Botanical Garden showcases and portrays slavery. In this text that I wrote my reflection on goes into dept about the archive of the SHSM and how it serves a purpose to show and educate the public on a deeper level for anyone who is interested in the untold history that is not discussed in Missouri history books and for the masses of other people that are not in school who just might want to know for the better of society.
10c) Uses quantitative information to support arguments and draw logical conclusions. (30%) My goal for this outcome is to take data or information throughout this semester and use it to back up arguments on why something is the way it is or why I believe something should be different based on the topic at hand.
5.a: Defines the scope of research questions effectively and selects information cogently to address them (30%). My goal for this outcome is to make sure that all the research I do for my projects has sufficient evidence to be backed up. I’ll have those brainstorming documents in my e portfolio to show my progression. They will show my evidence that links clearly and directly to the argument that I will be proposing.
Sincerely,
Zachary Tobias
