self-evaluation

As we head into the first progress reporting window of the Spring semester, it's a good time to reflect.  Since I only see you for a few hours each week, and you spend 24/7 with yourself (including that oh-so-valuable time with your subconscious while you sleep), please answer the following questions as we begin to assess your performance.  Please write your answers in complete sentences-- you do not need to copy the questions-- in an email, and send to me either at school or on gmail.  Mahalo.

1. What do you do best in the Open-Source Learning Academy?  Where are you strongest, most confident?  What can you confidently say you have accomplished or learned so far this semester?
2. Where do you need improvement?  Support?  What can you do to help yourself? What can I do to help you?
   
3. On a scale from 1-10, how much effort are you putting into this?  (*You can separate this out into categories; for example, if you put in a huge effort on your blog, but not so much on the journals, explain. **Also, if you are working hard on something but it doesn't feel painful, it still counts. :)
4. If you were giving yourself a single letter grade for your engagement so far, what letter grade do you believe you have earned at this point? Why?
