Discussion:
I have completed all of the assignments to hand in and most of the worksheets. I usually don't colour the colouring worksheets and study/label instead. I have not been fully up to date on my blog with pictures of our labs but I will get those from my partner and update them; however, the large blog assignments are complete. I try to participate in class if I find something interesting and usually give input/ask questions. When I do an assignment I try to put my full effort into it because I don't see the point in aimlessly completing something- the reason for assignments is for me to further my understanding. For that reason I think I spend too much time on some assignments/blog posts when they don't have a big result. Additionally, I think the content of my work is very good but I am not great at art or creativity.
The most powerful learning experience in biology so far has to be when we made the cell out of playdoh. Not only because we got to visualize and experience making it, but also because it helped me memorize the parts and their functions. Also the blog post on taxonomy (scientific naming) really stands for some reason even though its similar to other blog posts we do.
From reflecting on my learning in this class so far, seeing my progress and level of understanding, I think I deserve an A(90-94%)
Good reflection Adiba - I am looking forward to seeing your evidence as well. I am glad that you embrace the opportunity to further your understanding in assignments. When you put a lot of time and effort into something, hopefully it is because you find it interesting and you enjoy learning about it! I would encourage you, especially with your shorter blog posts, to not worry too much about a finished product and go ahead and publish what you have. You can always go back and edit it. I appreciate your questions and participation in class - you show a real interest and understanding in the topics we are learning about. Keep up the great work.
