Module 1 Assignment #5: Self-Reflection (5/26-5/27)

29 Replies

At the end of the semester you will determine your grade for ECE 110 based on your self-assessment of what you have learned. In preparation for your self-assessment, answer the questions below; you will answer these questions at the end of each module so you have a record of what you have learned over the semester. You can answer the questions here on Open Lab or create a journal on Blackboard (which would be private — go to Blackboard for ECE 110-Lecture, to the Assignments section on the left to find the Self-Assessment Journal).

  • What did you learn in this module?
    • Information/ knowledge
    • Skills
    • Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
  • How will the material from this module better prepare you to work with young children?
