1️⃣Initial Reflection and Goal Setting
Welcome to class! This self-assessment is primarily a tool for you to reflect on how you want to learn in class this term. Please submit your response to the following questions as a PDF. And then save it for yourself! You'll need to look back on it at the midpoint of the term, and hopefully you will also look back on it after every milestone you hit in the class to see how far you've come, remind yourself what your goals were when you started, and decide whether you need to change them.
Reflect a little on how you are feeling in this moment. What do you value in life? What do you enjoy learning? What are your interests? What worries you?

What is your plan for approaching work in the class? When will you work on labs (outside lab hours)? How do you prefer to work in groups? How will you seek help, when you need it?
