Editor's Notes
- #5: Today’s lab starts with the My Planner entryWeekly My Planner entries guide you in engaging in the self-regulated learning cycle byplanning for this week by setting a TASC goal for something you need to do in another course (could be for a formal assignment - goal you need to achieve as part of working on a homework set, exam, test, paper…could be informal task like a goal you need to achieve in a lecture, a reading, etc. Monitoring how well things went with achieving your goal (successes as well as the difficulties you encountered while trying to achieve the goal you set for the week. By doing this you can identify reoccurring problems that you’re having and make better plans to avoid them). Again just a reminder that even though we use the quiz tool in moodle -none of the lab work is a quiz. There are no right or wrong answers. To My Planner entries work for you (and get your lab mark), you need to be thoughtful and reflective in your entries. Just a hint- point form is not thoughtful or reflective. If it takes you less than 10-15 minutes to do a My Planner entry, you should be digging deeper in order to make these reflections really WORK for you. Second, now that you have learned what effective goal setting is, you should be setting TASC goals in your My Planner entries in order to get them to actually work for you (and to get the lab mark). When you are finished click 'submit all and finish’ You can also save your work by clicking “save without submitting” and return to it at any time.
- #6: Collaborative Challenge 1 took place in lecture this past week. The final part of this assignment is the Solo Collaborative Challenge Reflection. The purpose is to think back on how things went (what went well, problems you encountered), and figure out some ways you could help things go more smoothly in Collaborative Challenge 2. this is worth 5% of your final grade. The answers to the written questions in the reflection should be thoughtful & thorough.
- #7: Activity 4: Tracking Your Time UseGood time management involves identifying weaknesses in your time management, and trying out strategies to improve your regulation of time. Last week you were asked to track your activities and keep a detailed record of how you use your time ((in the calendar provided in the last lab or using a different method) and upload it to your Lab Activity Drop Box on the main moodle page Pull out your time tracker sheet and review how you spent your time last week. You must have tracked your time for at least 5 days in order to complete this activity (described next).
- #8: The Time Analysis Activity helps you to assess your own time management by asking you to complete 2 questionnaires and interpret the scores: Monitoring & Evaluating Time Use QuestionnaireAdaptive Procrastination QuestionnaireFirst complete the monitor and evaluate your time use questionnaire in WebQ. Think about the Time Tracking Portfolio Activity and what you found about your time use when you answer the questions,To log into WebQ: Username: first part of your email (before @)Password: edd10. View your responses to these by locating the questionnaire in your list in WebQ. And clicking “View Report”Remember that your scores are in red & that you can ignore the scores in blue. To interpret your scores, your WebQ report gives you 2 scores (EVEN and ODD)Calculate your Final Score by subtracting your EVEN Score from your ODD Score (ODD Score - EVEN Score = Final Score). Example: If your ODD Score is 40, and your EVEN Score is 20, your Final Score is 20 (40-20 = 20)Second find out what kind of procrastination if any you tend to do (in the Adaptive Procrastination Questionnaire). Use the scores on your questionnaires to answer the questions in the time analysis moodle activity.
