Midpoint Self-Assessment

Description

Answer all 5 questions as thoroughly as possible. You should have a full paragraph response to each question.

  1. How would you grade your participation in this class? Give yourself a letter grade and explain how you arrived at that grade. Take into account the following:

How often do you check into our class online?
Do you post in the discussion more than once per week?
Do your discussion posts offer conversation-promoting questions?
How thorough are you in looking things up for every reading?
Do you keep your instructor informed of things going on / challenges?
Are you prepared with the reading material?
Do you connect or apply our readings to events, material, etc., outside the class?

  1. What is something you’ve achieved or accomplished in this class? I want to hear about something of which you are proud of. Don’t be shy or self-deprecating!

Did you learn anything?
Have you gained it in some way?
Have you succeeded at something?

  1. What is something that is not going really well for you? What’s the hardest thing for you here? Take some time and explain it:

Why is it a challenge?
What are you doing about it?
If you’re not doing anything about it what could you do about it?
How might you go about finding solutions?

  1. In what ways have you contributed to the community of our classroom? [this question is a lot like question 1 but focused more outward than inward.]
  2. What grade do you believe you have earned thus far in this class and why? Be really thorough in your explanation.
