AN/BI 588: End-of-Semester Self Evaluation
Christopher A Schmitt
August 17, 2023
Insurmountable Coding Problems
The following self evaluation is meant to guide you through a
reflection on what you put into this course, and also what you got out
of it in return. Your self evaluation is not the place to
criticize, evaluate, or thank the instructor (we will have had many
thorough conversations about that in class, and formal evaluations on
the last day of class). This is about you. Unless otherwise
noted, please answer each question in no more than eight
sentences. At the end, I ask you to assign yourself a grade that you
think is both a fair and honest reflection of your performance in the
class given what was asked of you.
Whether I agree with your
assessment or not, I will schedule a time for us to discuss your
self-assessment. In this discussion, we will come to an agreement
regarding your final grade reflecting the criteria in the Course
Overview and as outlined below.
Instructions
Please download this Markdown file (selfevaluation.Rmd)
from my GitHub site (in the
fuzzyatelin.github.io/bioanth-stats/ folder) and answer the
appropriate questions in the spaces provided. Once you’ve knitted the
final file, please email the html version of
that file to me with the name
[LastF]_F19_SelfEvaluation.html (with LastF
meaning your last name followed by your first initial, i.e., mine would
be called SchmittC_F19_SelfEvaluation.html). I must receive
this file by December 14, 2023 at the earliest, and by
Midnight of the Final Exam Date at the latest.
Overall Impression
In place of my name as author on this Markdown file, please insert
your own, along with the date on which you completed this
self-assessment. In place of the RuPaul GIF, above, please choose a GIF
of a drag queen that best exemplifies your overall feelings about what
you learned/accomplished in this course. Additionally, replace the
The following self evaluation... text below your GIF with a
three sentence summary of your experience in the class and what you take
away from it to accompany that GIF. You may also choose a catchy
title.
What were you asked to do?
Please give me a bulleted/numbered list of each task you were asked
to do for this course. Where relevant, please also link the
html version of the file representing each task, in your own
repos, to the bulleted entry for that task.
What did you accomplish?
Please let me know how many of the above tasks you accomplished. If
any of them were accomplished later than stipulated, please note that.
If you contacted me about them being late (and we discussed it and I
said it was ok), please note that, too. You may provide a
bulleted/numbered list matching the one
above.
How well did you accomplish them?
Please let me know how well you feel you accomplished your tasks, in
a general sense. What do you feel you did the best, and what did you do
the least well? What was the hardest part for you? Did your
work/understanding/ease improve over the course of the
semester?
How has your understanding of and approach to statistics and project design changed since taking this course?
This may be in relation to previous knowledge, or in relation to
future/planned work.
What did you learn from all this?
Please name at least three things you feel you learned in this
course.
