Assignment Checklist

Reflection

This is my second course at the graduate level. In both courses, I needed a place to organize the assignments, the assessments, and an accounting of what I had completed and what I had yet to do. Thus, I began to copy the salient points for the assignments and lay them out in a way that was clear to my way of thinking. This turned out to be a critical activity when I realized after several weeks had passed that my book group was focussing on the wrong thing! Horrors! We had been discussing the nature of the writer's thoughts when we should have been reading and discussing the book through the lens of Equity. I thought that if four people in my group had missed that point, others might have. I shared the document with my Learning As Social Interaction group; sure enough, they also found themselves confused by the number of moving parts in the assignments. As a teacher, I have made it my practice to share everything I create, so I will ensure that the assignment list is available to anyone in the class who thinks it may benefit them.
