Reflection 4

This assignment should be turned in on Moodle.

This reflection is a bit different from previous ones: it’s systematic and objective. Consider it a check-in of what you have achieved in the first third (approximately) of the semester. Each category has a quantitative and a narrative component.

You are welcome to make a compelling, argument for computing grades for yourself differently from this suggestion.

Technology: ___%

Fill in the following list (specific instructions are below the list):

• Chapter 1: [__%] comments

  • Active Reading: [__%] comments

  • Reading Quiz 1: [__%] …

• Chapter 2: [__%]

  • Active Reading: [__%]

  • Reading Quiz 2: [__%]

• Chapter 4: [__%]

  • Active Reading: [__%]

  • Reading Quiz 4: [__%]

• Check-in Quiz 2: [__%]

• Check-in Quiz 4: [__%]

• Homework 1: [__%]

• Lab 1: [__%]

• Portfolio Fundamentals section: [__%]

Specific instructions

Compute grades for each item as follows, and replace the “comments” placeholders with a brief evidence (e.g., “I got through all but 2 or 3 of the code cells (link here)") and how you feel about it (“feel mostly confident, but can we talk more about DataObjectClassWrapperThing in section XZY?").

• For each chapter, compute the average of Active Reading and the Reading Quiz. You may choose weights other than 50-50 if you justify your choice (e.g., you did something other than the active-reading notebooks that you can argue is better for your learning).

  • Active Reading: Give full credit for having reproduced at least 90% of the code results of the chapter, e.g., in the outputs-only notebooks. Please place these notebooks in your Portfolio repo to provide evidence. If you reproduced less of the code, reduce credit proportionally.

  • Reading Quizzes: Review the quiz and feedback. If your score differs from the score on Moodle, please explain.

• Check-in Quizzes: Review the quiz and feedback. If your score differs from the score on Moodle, please explain.

• Homework 1: Give full credit when your report can answer the questions listed on the assignment page (now finally clarified, sorry for the delay)! Other ways of obtaining full credit are possible; message me if that applies.

• Lab 1: Most of this is captured in the portfolio Fundamentals, so just give 100% if you completed it.

• Portfolio Fundamentals: Give 10 points for each Fundamentals notebook you have fully completed. Compute an overall grade as min(100, sum(grades) * 100 / 40. (i.e., completing four notebooks suffices for full credit at this point).

Quantitative: Compute a grade for yourself based on the simple average of your scores for each activity. (You may use a different weighting if you make a good argument.)

Narrative: In addition to the brief inline comment,s write a brief response to these questions:

• What of your technical work are you most happy with in this class so far?

• What of your technical work are you least confident in? If you’re able to, can you describe what you’re struggling with?

• How do you feel about our pace?

Community: ___%

There are many different good ways to contribute to others' learning about AI (inside or outside this class), so I do not expect everyone to have done each of the following.

• What Piazza post or reply do you want to highlight and why? Include the URL. (If you posted anonymously and want to remain anonymous, just say “posted anonymously” or “replied anonymously”).

• What was a specific way that you helped a fellow student in lab/class/homework, or were helped by them?

• What discussion post do you want to highlight as an example of making another student feel heard or valued? Include a URL.

• Beyond these, what else have you done to contribute to others' learning about AI since our class started? Please be specific.

Assign a grade out of 10 points for each of these four areas, then compute an overall grade as min(100, sum(grades) * 100 / 20).

Context / History: ___%

Discussion forums or class discussions:

• What initial post do you want to highlight and why? Include the URL.

• What response post do you want to highlight and why?

• What’s something you’ll want to remember from a non-technical class discussion and why?

• What’s something you’ll want to remember from something non-technical you read for this class (in our book, an assigned non-technical reading, or otherwise) and why?

• What’s something you want to remember from among the questions in Reading Quiz 3?

Assign a grade for each of the areas above out of 10 points, then compute an overall grade as min(100, sum(grades) * 100 / 30).
