Hi Everyone,

The sign-up for final grade meetings is available here.

As a reminder, to recieve a final grade in this course you must attend this meeting and submit a self-reflection at least 24 hours before your scheduled slot. If there isn’t a slot available that you can make, please email me as soon as possible so we can set something up. If on the day of, you cannot make your slot for any reason, please make sure to let me know even if you are signing up for a different slot.

If you have any outstanding work that you plan to make-up, it must be submitted 24 hours before your grade meeting.

In your self-reflection you questions you may consider answering include: What have you learned about yourself as a speaker? As a listener? As a critical thinker and interpreter of sources? What worked for you or didn’t work for you in terms of this course overall? Were there exercises, readings, or discussions that were particularly helpful? Particularly awful? In terms of preparing for presentations what helped? What might you take away from this course for the future? What do you feel you still could improve on or work towards? Were there things you took away that could apply to other areas of school or life?
Look back at the initial course learning outcomes – do you feel you’ve made progress toward these?

Finally, what grade would you give yourself? What is your justification for this?

As with any writing, the more you can support your statements with examples, the stronger it will be.

This self-reflection process is meant to solidify for you what you have learned this semester in terms of both concrete and abstract ideas. Please think critically and be honest. Please be honest with yourself and with me as it is the best way for both of us to improve as learners. Remember, this and our individual grade meeting are considered your final exam and failure to submit it will affect your grade outcome.

Again, your reflection is due a minimum of 24 hours before your grade meeting.
