My Self -Assessment on what I have Learned in this Semester
Self -Assessment
Now it's time to show what you have learned in class this semester, and reflect on the following but in a form of an essay (2-3 paragraphs) without including the questions.
Use the following questions to help you develop your reflection on what you have learned, and how your participation in class discussions make you feel like a member of an active community and interactive group:
In what ways did our weekly class discussions facilitate your learning and critical thinking about the readings?
how did the class discussions help you to close and understand the authors' arguments, and make different interpretations of the same readings and quotes?
how did the Canvas Discussion Assignments which were scaffolded (broken down into smaller tasks/paragraphs) help you gradually develop your paper and argument instead of writing the whole essay all at once?
how did the readings and class discussions in this class contribute to your personal and academic growth? Provide an example of the readings that motivated or empowered you?
how did Dr. Heba's feedback and comments based on the grading criteria improve your writing skills?
What did you learn from the feedback provided by your professor based on the grading criteria? What skills did you learn in this class?
how did my comments based on the rubric/grading criteria guide your peer reviews to improve your and your peers' writing skills?
how did the group activities, Canvas, and class discussions facilitate your learning and help you participate and feel that you are a member of an active learning group/community?
Although this is an online course, did you feel engaged with your professor and peers?
What did you like about our individual one-to-one meeting (with your professor)?
Please reflect on what did you love the most about this course? For me, what I loved the most about this course is YOU!
In your assessment, please reflect on how would you evaluate your participation in this course and why?

Through the class discussion tools in canvas (assignments and discussion questions), group activities, feedback and comments, I now feel part of a community and an interactive group.
