Today we finished talking about the disclosure and expectations (what I expect from you as a student). Then we looked at the Umbrella for Success as a way to help you not only succeed in my class, but in any class! We talked through each of the categories and what they mean and look like and how they will help you succeed. Then we wrote up our thoughtful answers to the questions on the umbrella on the left side of the page and turned those in. So, if you missed class you need to write up answers to the questions in the Umbrella and turn them in next time!
After that we talked through your homework assignments:
(1) The Blog/Website Assignment (due Monday, Aug. 25th): This assignment is designed to help you become familiar with our class blog and our class website. It shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to complete. I just want you to know how to use our blog and website as resources to help you succeed in our class.
(2) The Learning Experiences Writing Assignment (Due Wednesday, Aug. 27th): This assignment is on a 1/2 sheet of paper. It asks you 6 questions. You need to write one paragraph for each of the questions, except question #6. I want to know where you are coming from as a learner, and I want you to think about yourself as a learner.
(3) The Learning Experiences Survey (Due Wednesday, Aug. 27): Questions 1 and 2 can be done at any time, but Question 3 needs to be done AFTER you complete the Learning Experiences Writing Assignment. For Question 3, I want you to think about the Umbrella categories. What is a category that you are awesome at? How can you use that category to help you this term? Then what is one category that you still aren't that great in? What can you do to develop and improve in that category? On the back write down your strong category and the category you want to develop, what your goals for each category are, and how you will achieve them.
Have a great weekend! See you Monday :)
