Purpose: This assignment is
designed to help students think about their work, how things are going, where
are they finding success and making improvements, and identify any challenges
and areas where they can improve. But the self-reflections are also designed to
let the instructor know what he or she might not know about how hard the
student is working behind the scenes, how much effort the student is making to
communicate and meet with the instructor outside of class to go over
assignments, even remind the instructor about extra credit work, and ultimately
what the student thinks would be a reasonable grade that accurately reflects
their work and progress. Students are asked to reflect on their work at the end
of each quarter.

1.
