REGARDING YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE
1. What were the three aspects of the assignments I've submitted that I am most proud of?
I am most proud of my labs, graphs, and pictures. For some reason I really struggled with the graphs and I am happy that I actually got them to post!
2. What two aspects of my submitted assignments do I believe could have used some improvement?
I could of used some improvement on my compendium reviews looking at them I didn't include enough pictures this unit. Also on my final lab should of provided more information.
3. What do I believe my overall grade should be for this unit?
I really struggled with this unit I couldn't get into it. I have been sick but numbers and graphs arent my thing. In the second part of the unit on nutrition I started to get into it again and it was easier for me to understand. I think on this unit I spent so much time even more than the first unit and tried my best but it doesn't look as good as my first unit so I would give myself a C.
4. How could I perform better in the next unit?
The next unit looks fun to me I cant wait to build a limb! I think I will enjoy the next unit and dedicate alot of time and try not to get to frusturated if things aren't going my way with postings.
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?
During this unit I felt most engaged during the labs. It seems so much more hands on even though I didn't enjoy the graphing.
At what moment unit did you feel most distanced from the course?
graphs it was like I couldn't get it and even though I kept trying it didnt seem to work
What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit that find most affirming and helpful?
When I asked for help with the graph my instructor refered me back to the microscope lab so I was able to go back and see how I got that to post and eventually I figured it out
What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit did you find most puzzling or confusing?
None really I knew this unit was probably going to be the hardest for me so I am excited to move to the next
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 at my reactions to this unit I was so frusturated and almost gave up. Thank goodness I didn't because once I got into the second part of the unit I started to enjoy myself again. I just need to realize that somethings are going to be better than others and I just have to push myself through them!

Andrea, generally great job on this unit. The compendiums seem to be where the inspiration lagged—and the essay? Your labs are all great and that’s nice to see. I’m glad you’re looking forward to Unit Three—I think it’s a more interesting topic also. Keep at it,
LF
COMPENDIUM MAJOR TOPIC ONE: OXYGEN, MICROBES, IMMUNITY:
I can see where your inspiration, as you say in your self-eval, was lacking is maybe in the compendiums. Please give them a complete talbe of contents to be sure you’re getting all the sub-topics…and then fill in complete details. You do choose a few nice images and cite them and in general, the info you have is correct, but a bit of completeness lacking in both. Not a big deal given the quality of all your other work!
COMPENDIUM MAJOR TOPIC TWO: NUTRITION:
I agree…these calorie counters can make us obsess too much, but it also is once ina while a chance to reflect on what is in the food we eat…very complete and honest self-assessment!
LAB MAJOR TOPIC ONE: BLOOD PRESSURE
This lab looks great…I’m glad you got the data posting issue solved and you doa nice job predicting a potential effect and showing it in the data and analyzing it.
LAB MAJOR TOPIC TWO: A DAY OF FOOD
This looks great…very honest self-analysis.
LAB PROJECT: EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY:
Did you “borrow” the store’s hoola hoop for this lab! Nice pictures and great job presenting your hypothesis and data…and then analyzing it…you might have considered how long you walked or hoola-hooped, if you thought that affected your data…also, did you get your measurements right after doing the activities? Minor things—in general, great write-up.
ETHICAL ISSUE ESSAY: WHAT IS FOOD:
I didn’t see your essay posted here in your blog. If you still want to do it for the 10 points, I’ll take a look at it…just e-mail me when it’s posted.
