First-Week Introduction
I chose these five goals to overcome, because I personally believe these goals will help me become a better person and a better student. To start off, I chose 1a which indicates “demonstrating ability and commitment to collaboratively work across and within community and structures.” This goal is very important while working with others. This goal will help me work as a group better and see the dos and don’ts as a group member. I chose 11a, which states, “Evaluates texts scholarly significance to apply reading to other contexts or issues”. This goal helps me understand the importance relevance of a work piece. I can determine its impact and see how it contributes to the source of field we’re referring to. Goal 13b: “Uses appropriate, relevant, and compelling content to illustrate mastery of the subject, conveying the writer’s understanding, and shaping the whole work”. This one is by far my favorite and most exciting goal I have for myself. I say this because I am so big on tone and delivery. To know me is to know I’m super big on communicating because that is how stuff gets done and we must have that one uncomfortable conversation to understand each other’s point of views. The last goal I chose is “8a: Uses clear organizational patterns and is skillful at presenting content cohesively”. It is very important to stay on top of your work and keep your files organized, especially working as a group because not everyone has the same tasks as you. I am personally super excited for our Lab projects. I feel as if this project will help me, and my group members become more closer and develop and meaningful connection with each other. The scrolly telling project might be the most challenging just because we would have to present it which is by far the hardest thing to do at least for me in a project. Some strategies I want to set for myself to make this semester a success is not allowing the things I cannot control affect and reflect on what I do want to do. I also want to stop PROCRASTINATING!
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?]
Course Goals
Choose five goals from the CODES Student Learning Outcomes that you’d like to work toward. Choose goals that are relevant to the scope of this course, select artifacts/examples based on activities assigned for this course, and explain characteristics in a way that illustrates how your artifacts/examples demonstrate your progress toward the goal.
Goal 1 (20%)

[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade).
