General Long Answer:  (all courses): cite assignments from your course(s) 

  1. What are you better at now than you were at the end of the previous academic year? Name all of the ways that these improvements were made possible. Im glad that I was able to improve this semester academically from my last since I did consider dropping out of college as a whole. This semester has just treated me way much better than my last two. 
  1. What are you most proud of from the past academic year? Why does this make you proud?

What make me proud is that I passed all my classes with a B+ or higher this semester this is a huge accomplishment for me at least since I really didn’t enjoy my first two semesters. 

  1. What went well this past academic year? What tools, supports or resources aided your success?

Honestly what went well this semester at least was consistency and dedication. As of this semester i worked alot in groups, so meeting new people and getting to work with them was an honor.

  1. What did not go well this past academic year? What was missing that made this experience challenging or undesirable? 

              What didn’t go well was my spring 2023 semester, previously in my last semester i failed math    190 and i’ve never failed a class in my academy career, so it did bring me down, it demotivated me and i wasn’t sure what i wanted to do in college. Until i changed my major to game design. 

  1. What insight did you gain about your own needs for mitigating challenges? Where or how can you fulfill these needs in the future?

To be honest im not sure how to answer this 

  1. What did you learn from overcoming challenges? How will you remember what you learned and apply it when a similar issue arises? What i learned is to persevere through these challenges   
  1. When did you feel happiest or most at ease this year? How can you experience those moments more frequently?
  2. What moments are you proud of? What can you do to celebrate yourself?

Im proud of PASSING THIS semester, and i celebrated with family and buying stuff for my self.

  1. What new ideas, information, resources or research made a positive difference for you this year? What was helpful about these things?

It’s the fact that my dad gave me another chance at college and pushed me to do the best i can and become successful. 

Short Answer: Course Specific (only this course): cite assignments from the course

  1. How has your understanding of the scientific writing process changed from what it was before this class? To be fair it’s come along way from understanding real world problems what’s going on in the world around sustainability. 
  2. Where do you believe the scientists primary responsibilities are, to fellow scientists, or to to the public? Why?

Scientists have a responsibility to both their peers, for advancing knowledge, and the public, for communicating and applying that knowledge for the benefit of society

  1. What was your experience with the PSA project? What do you think you learned from it?
  1. What was the most memorable example of forward Facing Science (or science focused on explaining itself to the public)? What made it stand out to you and what did it teach you about the ability to promote science to the public?
  1. What will you most take away from this course, that could be applied to your future classes?

              What I would take away is the researching and data collecting when making  research papers in the future and citaing sources and making sure they are creditable.
