The Great Scavenger Hunt!

A fun scavenger hunt to help learn about the key concepts of the class!


Hello, for our scavenger hunt we are going to discuss ten items on the course syllabus.

  1. The due date of the e-portfolio is December 4.

  2. There is no final exam for this class. However, during the exam week Professor Halaburda will be holding special office hours to receive our course grades.

  3. We are allowed a maximum of five absences before our course grade is affected.

  4. Professor Halaburda will excuse absences during special circumstances.

  5. Professor Halaburda does not accept digital submissions for assignments she requests a hard copy of.

  6. If we miss a peer workshop we should contact our peers in our group for the information discussed and if they would like to help us peer edit.

  7. Our e-portfolio is 70% of our grade.

  8. You will fail the class if you miss one of the major assignments.

  9. The average grade on the e-portfolio is considered to be a C.

  10. Academic integrity policy can be picked up at the dean of students office or online.

While reading the twelve key concepts for this course, I happened to see two that I needed to work on. The two concepts I struggle with are, critical reflection and critical reading. In high school when I had to do reading assignments, I would see myself not really paying attention to the reading and forgetting what I just read about. I found it really hard to focus on the reading and gather information on what I read because I was disinterested. Also, reflecting on my work is something I tend to struggle with because once I complete an assignment I rarely look back at it. I kinda just wrote stuff to be done with the assignment. Which never really gave me the opportunity to become a better writer, since I would never reflect on what I wrote and try to make it better. I do believe that this course well help me improve my ability to critically reflect and read.
