Self and Unit Evaluation II

REGARDING YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE

1. What were the three aspects of the assignments I've submitted that I am most proud of?

I am proud of my lab project for this unit. I was unsure of what activities to use for the three activities/experiments, and I thought what I came up with was fun, even if it did not have all the results I was expecting. It was a good, fun experience.

My 4^th compendium (the second compendium for this unit) did not take me a really long time like the three before it have. Despite the fact that there was less information required for the 4^th compendium, I am hoping this means that I am getting the system down a bit better, and will be able to use my class time more efficiently from now on.

I am proud I managed to write another ethical issue essay. At first, I was at a loss of what to say. As is evidenced by the finished product, I was able to finally formulate and organize some ideas to make an essay. I apologize if my paragraph relating to PCOS did not fit in to the essay, but I thought it had enough to do with the topic that I could somehow squeeze it in.

2. What two aspects of my submitted assignments do I believe could have used some improvement?

As always, I would have liked a few more days to edit my essay and compendiums. However, I think they still came out ok with the editing time I gave each.

I wish I could have gotten my blood pressure screen pictures bigger. However, I think I may have found out how to make them bigger for future assignments, so hopefully I will not need to worry about this again.

3. What do I believe my overall grade should be for this unit?

Again, I put plenty of time in to do this unit, and hopefully that time was used well. If it was, then I hope my assignments turned out well and will earn a good grade. However, if they did not, it will be a learning experience, and I will determine to do next unit’s assignments better. All in all, I would hope to average an A- or A.

4. How could I perform better in the next unit?

I think if I started earlier on next unit, it would give me more time to edit and better put together my assignments. So, that is my “resolution” for next unit.

REGARDING THE UNIT

1. At what moment during this unit did you feel most engaged with the course?

I felt engaged during my lab project. It brought concepts into everyday reality for me.

2. At what moment unit did you feel most distanced from the course?

I would say it was during the ethical issues essay. Since I do not usually think of such topics, it was hard at first to come up with an essay. However, when I finally did manage to come up with sufficient topics to write my essay, I found it to be a good learning experience that opened my eyes more to the nutritional state of our country.

3. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit that find most affirming and helpful?

It was nice to get feedback and hear somebody else’s opinion on my ethical essay in unit I. Also, I am very grateful to our teacher that he again extended the deadline to Sunday morning. That one extra day does wonders for my schedule and assignments.

4. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit did you find most puzzling or confusing?

Overall, I was satisfied with my teacher and fellow students’ actions. There was nothing that puzzled or confused me.

5. What about this unit surprised you the most? (This could be something about your own reactions to the course, something that someone did, or anything else that occurs to you.)

I noticed the difference in difficulty and time consumption compared with the first unit. Just as our teacher said, it really did get easier when the third week of class started. I was very grateful for that discovery.
