Unit II evaluation

Self-Evaluation

1. What were the three aspects of the assignments I've submitted that I am most proud of?
I thought my compendium reviews for this unit were both more organized and better written then last unit. I was also able to get good pictorials for the concepts in each sub-unit. I liked doing the major lab for this unit and I think the final published blog is well written and insightful. The last thing I am most proud of is getting all the assignments for this unit done on time and looking good.

2. What two aspects of my submitted assignments do I believe could have used some improvement?
Well the first thing I could have improved on is the quiz for the fist major topic. I took this quiz and swear I answered all the questions, but when I had the quiz graded the results showed I did not answer not one, but two of the questions. I think this is crap, so for the next unit I am going to pay particular attention to the quizzes and my answers. Well for the second issue with my work nothing in particular comes to mind, I am pleased with all the assignments I have posted for this unit.

3. What do I believe my overall grade should be for this unit?
I think the assignments I turned in for this unit are A quality. I would like to get an overall grade of and A for this class so a high score for this unit will be a boost.

4. How could I perform better in the next unit?
I still think my biggest done fall is my procrastination and time management skills. I did do a good job of getting an early jump on the chapters, but then I procrastinated till the end of the unit. Even though my assignments are still good, I did have to do the usual time crunch this last week to make sure everything looked good. This is still why I am looking forward to taking classes in person to put less stress on my own time issues.

REGARDING THE UNIT (adapted from Stephen Brookfield, University of St. Thomas "Critical Incident Questionnaire")

At what moment during this unit did you feel most engaged with the course?
I felt I was grasping the concepts of this chapter when I was working on the lab project and making correlations between excersing and metabolic rates.

At what moment unit did you feel most distanced from the course?
During the second week of this unit when I had some vacation which I enjoyed and did not put any time towards my assignments.

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

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

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 was surprised that even though I stay in shape by working out and taking martial arts classes I can not run worth crap, and I used to be good at running. So I guess I am not surprised that running was a little rough for me since I have not actively run in a year, but I really was dragging during the running portion of the lab, something I will have to improve on.
