Lecture 2.1.5 – Starting a Journal
Lecture Overview
A specific expectation is that all students will keep a journal throughout the course. The Journal will become part of the final course mark (5%)
A journal captures your thoughts, questions, wonderings, and interpretations.
A journal should be a combination of images, notes, and artifacts that capture your thinking and discovery as you work through this course.
A journal is also a collection of your personal observations, meaningful, quotations, poets and other writers you want to read later and references to them.
Proper note-taking skills are crucial because they let you record what is important from something you are learning or thinking about on a daily basis.
You will benefit from keeping an organized journal, as it will be useful for your culminating project for this course.
You will be prompted many times throughout the coming lessons to reflect on your learning and track your growth throughout the course.
