Any action without reflection is meaningless; real learning only occurs as part of a reflective process. Reflection is studying your own practice as seriously as you study anything; it involves thinking about why, what, and how you create something. In any learning situation, you should study beforehand, make/do, debug, reflect, adjust, and do it all over again. Learning happens in a cycle, illustrated in the diagrams below.
As a student, you should also develop your critical thinking skills. This will initially involve critiquing other people’s work, but ultimately you also want to be able to critique your own work. This will allow you to develop as a creator.
Of Project
Critically analyze/evaluate the final execution of your gathering(s).
What qualitative description would you give the final execution of your gathering(s) and why?
(i.e. excellent, very good, good, etc. Consult the grading overview descriptions presented earlier in this syllabus.)
Did you deliver what you set out to do (or based on your last scope change)?
Did you do what you said you were going to do (integrity, accountability)?
Did you execute all aspects of your gathering(s) by the best means possible (craft and care)?
Lessons Learned / What would you do differently if you could redo this gathering(s)?
Of Process
Critically analyze/evaluate your gathering(s) process.
How did you approach your gathering? Did you focus on the forest (the entire gathering as a whole) or the trees (details) at first? When did you transition to the other IF you did?
Did you manage your time properly?
Did you prioritize effectively?
What qualitative description would you give your overall process and why?
(i.e. excellent, very good, good, etc. Consult the grading overview descriptions presented earlier in this syllabus.)
Of Self
How have you grown as a gatherer over the semester?
If your growth is not where you would like it to be, what specific steps will you take to improve in the future?
What other things have you learned about yourself in this course?
Of Classmates
Which classmate(s) inspired you the most and why?
Of The Course
