Today is your Midterm Exam. All answers should be in essay form. This exam will
count as 15% of your total grade for the nine weeks. Please answer each question
thoroughly and thoughtfully using complete sentences and PLEASE don't
fragment your thoughts.
SELF ASSESSMENT
SECTION:
1. Think about what kind of a student you have been in this
class the first half of the semester. Think about all aspects of the class from
interactions with your team to interactions with the teacher as well as the
completion of your individual assignments. What are your own personal strengths
and weaknesses? If you have weaknesses, are there things that you can
do personally to get better at them? What might some examples of those
things?
2. If you have strengths, what do you think that you could do
with them? Have you started thinking about art/design as a job possibility
rather than a hobby? What are you thinking about studying after you complete
this class to get closer to those goals? What has been your own
personal favorite thing about this class so far? What have you not
enjoyed?
CLASS ASSESSMENT SECTION:
1. Are there students in this
class that you feel are not here for the right reasons, or do you feel that we
have a good balance of students who seem to be on a good path? What are the
things that you admire about the students that are the most accomplished? What
makes a great student in your opinion? How important is traditional
grading in this environment? Do you feel like most people in the class deserve
high grades for the work that they produce? Why?
2. This is
the FINAL question...what would you do to modify the instruction techniques used
at CCE in the Graphic Design studio? If you were the teacher, what would you
consider doing differently. If you would not change things, tell me why you feel
that way.
Thank you for your thoughtful responses.
