Reflection Topic: Learning Outcomes Congratulations on reaching the last full week of UNIV 1001: Online Education Strategies. Throughout the term, we have learned a lot together. We have focused on effectively navigating UoPeople courses, understanding the process and impact of peer assessment, and examining and developing key learning skills such as critical thinking and self-directed learning. We have also worked to understand and apply important strategies for reading, studying, APA citations and references, time management, stress management, and test management. For your last journal entry, reflect on the different things you have learned over the term. Then, in a 300-500 word journal entry (at least 300 words but no more than 500 words), answer the following: What was the most useful strategy you learned during this course? How will you apply this strategy in your future studies here at UoPeople? What was the most surprising thing you learned this term? Why did it surprise you? Peer assessment is a unique education model. Think back to how you felt about peer assessment at the beginning of the term, and compare that to your feelings now. How have your feelings changed? Are you more comfortable with peer assessment? Have you learned something new while assessing your peer’s work?

ASELINE REFLECTION GUIDE You are asked to think and write about the questions below and submit what you prepare as text to the 3012NSC course site (submission link via Assessment/Reflection Tasks). Self-reflection is important to learning, and to performing in everyday life (including studying, work, and personal life). Like any skill, it is something that we improve at with practice. It is very different from just "remembering" or listing things. Try not to write what you think I want to read. Instead focus on your own experience, expectations, and goals. You may not have thought too much about a course before you have done it before or about your career goals and things you can do now to develop employability skills, but it is a fantastic way to ensure your development and set yourself up to succeed. It also a skill that will help you prepare for employment beyond your degree (noting that many employees are asked to reflect on their achievements each year as part of their roles) while helping provide me with information that may help you achieve your objectives this trimester. For this first reflection task, you will complete a baseline reflection and that you will reconsider at the end of the course. While this reflection will not be graded it is required for the final reflection which will be marked (a rubric and final reflection instructions will be provided in week 8). NOTE: If you do not submit a baseline reflection and have it marked as being complete, the maximum grade you can be awarded for your final reflection will be 50% (5/10). Your baseline reflection must be 500 (+10%) words and must cover each of the following topics to be marked as complete. 1) CURRENT ID PERCEPTIONS Take some time to reflect on you current understanding and perceptions of infectious diseases. Do you feel threatened by infectious diseases (your response should consider infectious diseases in general, not just COVID-19) and why do you think this is the case? Do you feel you are well- informed about infectious diseases? What do you expect to learn in this course? 2) CAREERS GOALS AND NEEDS Take some time to reflect on your career goals and the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to achieve them. What knowledge, skills, and attributes do you need to succeed in your chosen career going forward? You might find it useful to gain some insights from relevant position advertisements, Griffith University’s graduate attributes or the information I have provided via our course site re employability skills, attitudes, and attributes (Course Information and Resources/Course Overview/ Weblink and Other Resources). 3) LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES Now that you have considered your career goals and the knowledge, skills, and attributes you need to develop to achieve them, consider what you can do to facilitate their development. What do you intend to do to facilitate your learning and professional development this trimester and going forward? Have your thoHave your thought about including AI in your learning journey? Do you think AI tools can help you learn, or do you need to learn more about their limitations? Are there any volunteer opportunities available that my help you develop your employability skills? 500 words limit
