Portfolio: Section Five

Tracking and evaluating learning in a specific course

In this section of the portfolio we are once again asking you to focus on your particular experience in a particular course, so please refer to the course syllabus for additional details. In general we are asking you to reflect on your experience as a learner by responding to at least the following questions:

• how did the reading assignments in this course support your learning? Were they relevant, pertinent, accessible? Which ones would you keep for future versions of this class, and which would you discard?
• how well did the design of the course support your own learning? Was the structure of the class clear? Did the assignments support your skill development? How would you improve the course design?
• what do you think future students should know about this class to survive, or better yet, to flourish during it?
• how have your experiences in this class shaped your future teaching practice, if at all? How have they shaped your role as a learner in other settings, if at all?
• anything else you’d like to add!
