EDC 210--Learning Log
Your Learning Log is a simple tally of the time you spent on the activities
in this course and a once weekly reflection on that work. For example, if
on June 1st you spend 50 minutes reading the first chapter of Babad et al.,
you would write in your log:
6-1-11: Read chapter 1 from Chabris et al. (50 minutes).
Continue this sort of tally for each and every time you work on anything for this course. Then, before the assigned due date, type a 4-5 sentence paragraph reflection on what you have learned by reflecting on your Learning Log. For example:
"As I look over my work during the past week, it is clear that I am under-estimating how long it takes me to read the book. I didn't seem to understand the material the first time a read it. That makes me think I may need to schedule more time in order to really understand the chapter. I may also need to ask more questions in class or organize a study group of my classmates.Finally, you should add any questions or suggestions you might have regarding the course. If you find dead links, let me know. If you have any other questions or suggestions that will help you learn, let me know! I can't improve the course without your feedback.
When I look at my group's work on our -ISM Video, I am pretty satisfied with our efforts. This week I put in about 3 hours on my part of the video and really accomplished a lot. It seems when I am working on something I really care about I can find the time to work harder."
It is also very helpful if you label your document with your name and log number or date. When I get 25 generic "Learning Logs," it makes it very difficult to distinguish one person's assignment from another. Thanks!
