Hello everyone,
My apologies that I did not get this to you last week – I had some tech troubles coincide with some personal obligations and couldn’t get to this until tonight. As such, please take until this coming Wednesday to complete the assignment.
Your final assignment has two parts – to receive full credit you must complete both.
1) The first is a reflective post, with the category Blog Entry 3, where you reflect on the work that you have done in this course. Try to avoid simple observations such as “I liked this…” “I thought this course was good because…” and instead think about what you have learned and how you have learned it. Try also to avoid statements that begin with “Overall” or “Altogether”; think about specifics instead. We are asking you to do some writing here that is known as “meta-cognitive,” meaning you are thinking about how you are thinking (whoa….right?).
- Consider what you’ve learned (or not), and how you learned it, and whether that experience was meaningful or impactful because of the way you learned it.
- Consider all the assignments and work you’ve done, not just the two big projects.
- Consider not only the content of the course (ways of doing science, all the factual information, etc.), but also other less obvious elements of learning, such as working in a group, working on multiple simultaneous projects, managing the poster design/PowerPoint presentations, research, etc.
This post should be about 500 words maximum, but it’s OK if you go a little over.
2) The second is a peer assessment, in which we would like you to candidly assess both your own performance as well as the other members of your group. This will be done by completing the form below. Please know that this is 100% private, and no one but Dr. Greer and Jake can see it. We want your honest assessment of the group work breakdown, not to penalize any group members who did not pull their weight, but to understand how we can make group work function better in the future.
Have a great break!
