Self-evaluation

Self-Evaluations
Also called "self-eval" for short, this (normally) mandatory part of any class provides students with the opportunity to think carefully and critically about their own involvement with the course, with course content, and how they have changed individually.

Some questions to keep in mind when writing a self-evaluation:


 * How was my performance during this course?
 * What did I struggle with?
 * What did I enjoy about it?
 * What didn't I enjoy about it?
 * How could I have done better as a student?
 * What parts of the course really spoke to me?
 * How have I grown academically and individually as a result of taking this course?
 * What was my final project? How did this reflect the goals and the overarching questions of the course?
 * Why did I pick this topic, and why is it important?

The self-evaluation is a chance for students to offer their two cents on their own work, and explore some of the meta-cognitive elements of academic and personal participation.
