-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: These are sample questions; if you want to reflect on something else, feel free!
1) Think of something you’ve wanted to tell a person, but haven’t yet. Who are you thinking of, what would you say, and why would – or wouldn’t – you say it?
2) Did you have a goal – something you wanted out of the class – when you first walked into class?
3) What is your favorite type of lesson that we’ve done so far? What has been your least favorite? Do you prefer to study and work alone, in groups, or a mixture of the two?
4) Do you feel you have improved as a student since you enrolled in this class? Has this class strengthened an area of weakness for you, or played to your strengths in a way that makes your experiences here meaningful?
5) Do you want to learn something that the class hasn’t addressed yet? If you’re coming back for another semester, do you feel prepared to handle the challenges that the rest of the year holds?
6) Are your experiences in this class meaningful? Are your class experiences outside of class (blog, studying, work, etc.) meaningful? (Why/why not – as always)
7) One of my goals at the beginning of the year was to establish a community within each classroom. Has a community been established in your class? Are you part of it? Do you feel respected and included by others? Does anything need to change?
How would you describe this class – the material, the community, your experiences – to someone who’s never taken it before?
9) In your opinion, has this class been successful? Knowing what you know now about it, would you sign up again? Would you go elsewhere? Would you “re-enlist” with reservations?
10) Reflect back on the Star you drew a long, long time ago. (Imagine it!) Have any of the points shifted during the past few months, in any direction? Do you see anything on the horizon that will cause them to shift?
11) What do you feel you have learned this year (if anything?)
