Instructions:

Answer one or both sets of the questions below thoughtfully and in detail; avoid “checking the box” answers, such as “I learned a lot.” For each assertion, explain what you mean and offer support. Draw on your course materials to support your claims, either hyperlinking to documents (Tutorial), pulling in images (Tutorial), or quoting from your material, acknowledging where the content came from. In other words, show your learning through your work as evidence, explaining how this work has influenced you and will support your future goals. This is not a justification of your grade to the instructor. Rather, this assignment is meant to show that you 1) can identify what you learned, 2) can explain how you learned it, 3) can articulate how this knowledge fits within your larger learning experience at ODU, 4) can provide archival evidence of your skills, and 5) can project how this knowledge may be of use to you in multiple contexts in the future.

Transfer & Connections to Discipline

Which courses, either in your major/field or outside of it, and course materials most closely connect to what you have learned? In other words, how do you see the knowledge you gained from other courses and your life experience connecting to information and skills from this course? How does this help you better understand your own field/major, as well as the world where you live? How does this prepare you to view the world from a different perspective? Use specific examples.

Self-Assessment and Reflections

What frustrations and challenges did you face this semester? How did you resolve these issues? How did responding to these challenges influence your learning process? How do you envision this knowledge or skill set being useful to you in the future? Use specific examples.
