Final reflection

Name	Jake
Module	Computer science
How many days have you missed class this quarter?	1 I believe
What have you done to make up lost time?	Just continued with my project and did more at home
How have your experiences been different in the second quarter? Are you more or less satisfied with your progress? Are you doing more of less work out of class?	I am less satisified with my progress. Though my I think improved my understanding and skills in green foot but my blogging is horrible. I do, do a lot of work I just don't blog it
Has the atmosphere in the class changed during the course? How has it changed?	During the end after winter break I’ve been unfocused more I used to be more on top of everything but that kind of stopped post winter break.
What advice can you give to students who are about to start on the module that you are just finishing? What can you say that would help them have a more effective learning experience?	Don’t rush through the modules at the begging. Really make sure you understand it and take your time.
This course provided you with an opportunity to extend your knowledge skills and understanding in areas that you have chosen. Chose and describe, one significant area of knowledge or skill or understanding than you gained from this course.	For the score counter in order to count the points it had to connected to the world, actor and score counter. That was interesting to learn. Also I learned
This course also provided you with the opportunity to manage your own learning. Effective lifelong learners are independent, curious, persistent, they forge relationships that support their learning goals, they find meaning in their learning by making connections with what they already know and value, and can do. Give one example of how you have changed as a learner as a result of this course.	I’ve learned to learn something without a teacher and I didn’t fully fail at it. It was hard at first but I did get the hang of it once I got the basic skills down.
What will you have achieved by the end of the module? Describe your project. Is it finished? What do you still need to do?	I finished my project but there are still things I would like to add, for example I want to make my actor shoot. Basically in my project  you play as Mario and you try to collect coins with out falling and getting eaten by a dragon. What is cool about my project is I got a score counter and got my actor to stand and jump on and of the ground. When Mario collects the coins the score counter counts it. Also once you get to a flag it ends the game.
Highlight sentences in the descriptions of student given below that you feel reflects your performance in this course.
How does a student that receives a B grade perform? Commendable Creditable Good Respectable	Typically this student makes effective use of class time by increasing his competence and confidence using software that he has chosen. He attends all class sessions, coming and leaving on time, and making sure to make up missing time by working during free periods or at home. His oral communication during class is focused on the learning tasks that he is engaged in.   His written communication (blogs, e-mails, and reports) are done according to deadlines and contain enough information for the teacher to understand what he is doing, what kinds of problems he is facing and how he feels about his learning experiences. During class he remains focused on the task at hand and generally respects the integrity of the learning environment for all students. He has positive attitudes towards acquiring new skills, and makes a conscious effort to acquire new skills and apply them in meaningful ways. He is an independent learner, who tries to solve problems by himself, but finds effective ways to overcome problems using a variety of other resources.   He is respectful of all members of this learning community and his behavior is in compliance with all school policies, in particular the AUP (Appropriate Use Policy) and Academic Honesty Policy. This is an appropriate course for this student and the performance of the student is such that it can be said that the student is meeting the standards well. His work, on the whole, is good.
In what ways is the performance of a student receiving an A different from that of a student receiving a B? Brilliant, Exceptional, Outstanding	An A student performs as described above. She also demonstrates a particularly high level of understanding or performance. She might be doing substantial work out of class. She might have authentic clients for her computer skills. She will tend to show leadership qualities in group oriented projects and she will be approached by other students for help because they recognize her superior skill levels. She will be very independent and confident in her approach to learning. She will be interested in developing her own learning objectives and finding ways to meet them.   She will tend to reflect on her learning experiences and on her learning needs in her logs in such a way that her reflective log becomes a learning plan.This is probably an appropriate course for her.
In what ways is the performance of a student receiving a C different from that of a student receiving a B? Adequate, Sufficient,Good Enough, Satisfactory,Reasonable	This student does not perform at the level of a B student in some areas. They may lack confidence or tend to work rather slowly. They may not be fully engaged during class time. This is an appropriate course for her, and she adequately meets the standards for the course.
Under what circumstances would a student receive a D for this course. Inadequate, Poor, Insufficient, Deficient, Unsatisfactory, Unacceptable, Sub-standard, Not good enough, Lacking, Incomplete, Wanting	This student is failing to meet the standards (described in B) to such an extent that this might not be an appropriate course for this student at this time. This student is in danger of failing the course.
Given the highlighted sentences above, what do you think is an appropriate grade for you in this course? A-outstanding-95 B-good-85 C-adequate-75 D-inadequate-65	A low B is what I think I deserve. I just totally lost it at the end of the quarter and just did not put as much effort as I could have in the blogs but I did put a lot of work into my project.
What else would you like to communicate to your instructor to support your estimated final grade for the class?	Nothing else really.
Is there any other information that you would like to provide your teacher to help decide on your final grade for the class?	Nothing else really.
