Objectives definitely help me to see the whole picture, to decide what I have to do throughout the class to get the best grade I can. But through this class I have learned that objectives are a lot more than guidelines for what needs to be accomplished in the class for a great grade. Objectives help us to guide our learning and assess ourselves throughout the semester and know what we are trying to accomplish through our learning. I've posted previously that through the objectives of this class I was able to assess myself through a rubric I constructed about my learning. As a student it was beneficial for me to interpret my own learning.
As students, we always expect to be evaluated by our teachers, but through ENG 408 we were given the chance to assess ourselves and that kind of opportunity does not come around often and as future teachers it is great practice for us to think about how to best acknowledge someone's learning process.
