This was the very first beginning class for my ECS 401 Course! We did some anonymous introductions in a very fun way where my fellow classmates were not highlighted or forced to share everything about themselves with those we have just met- while being on a zoom platform. We used Poll Guru which was set up by the instructor. I quite enjoyed using that online platform, which was anonymous while sharing information about myself. We were also able to answer more in depth questions asked about ourselves and our point of views on different topics, one of them being assessment and evaluation; while listing what those terms mean to us. We got into breakout groups to go over the assignments chunks of the syllabus and then re-explained each part per group while creating an open space for questions. Furthermore, we did a personal growth answer sheet, assessment sheet quiz, and a multiple intelligence quiz. Not only did I learn more about the course, my classmates, and the instructor, but I learned a few things about myself. My highest score for the Multiple intelligence score was for music, very cool. One highlight/ symbol to reference this first class is the idea of a growing graph- this will further make me remember our starting point as we all grow throughout the semester while gaining new knowledge and skills to take into our future careers and lifestyles.
