Overall I think I am doing very well in this course. I find my strengths to be the participation in our discussion forums and my weakness to be the quizzes. Like I had mentioned in my Academic Goals Assignment, I am not very good at reading and comprehending a lot of material and then translating that information into quiz taking format. It’s not that I don’t comprehend the overall concepts or ideologies that I am being asked to study, rather it’s the broader subtopics within the texts I struggle with.
As far as the course outcomes go, I am definitely meeting the ones I aimed to meet at the beginning of the quarter (outlined in my Academic Goals Assignment). Thus far I have done well at being able to communicate with clarity more originally and also being better at thinking critically, creatively and reflectively. I have done this by translating the knowledge I have learned each week into well written responses on the forum, which I have been receiving 22/20 points each week.
Course outcomes in which I am still struggling with are just being able to comprehend a lot of the smaller details and translate this information into my quizzes. I have now started highlighting certain parts of my texts though and often times will review it during the week to get a greater knowledge of it. I hope by doing this that I will improve my overall quizzes score.
