Assessment : You will get full credit for this part of the assignment if you showed up and participated.
Reflect on your experiential learning in the form of: (2.1) a written statement between 350-500 words, or (2.2) a 2-3 minute video of you answering a series of questions about your experiential learning (must be willing to make it publically available for educational purposes).
To earn the full credit for this part of your assignment you must, in your brief reflection (in essay or video format), demonstrate a level of analysis of the field based learning experience. Providing analysis means that you have thought about the experience and demonstrated how you've integrated it into you knowledge base.
In other words, you have gone beyond just describing your experience by adding an analysis that speaks to concepts covered in USP 2. You have two ways you can complete this task.
Option A: Written statement between 350-500 words. Address the following questions about your participation at either the Ocean View Growing Grounds (Neighborhood Environmental Research and Learning Center) or Normal Heights (Alleyway Assessment Project).
Don't answer the questions in a running list one at a time. Instead, respond in a brief self-reflecting story format that uses whatever ordering of the questions listed below that you deem best. Include a bibliography for all citations you make. Upload to Google Classroom.
What was your experience, what did you do? (e.g. work in the garden, base building, alley assessment)
What did you take away from the experience? Relate this to USP 2 course content.
What about it impressed you most, why? How so?
Did it create any kind of lasting impression, or any shift in how you think about your own life, the life of others, your career plans, course content covered in USP 2?
Did it give you any particular insight re how we organize our selves collectively as a society to meet our basic needs (e.g., for food, access to nature, secure attachments)?
Option B: Produce a 3 minute video (give or take 30 seconds) of you answering the same questions outlined in 2.1 above:
What was your experience, what did you do? (e.g. work in the garden, base building, alley assessment)
What did you take away from the experience? Relate this to USP 2 course content.
What about it impressed you most, why? How so?
Did it create any kind of lasting impression, or any shift in how you think about your own life, the life of others, your career plans, course content covered in USP 2?
Did it give you any particular insight re how we organize our selves collectively as a society to meet our basic needs (e.g., for food, access to nature, secure attachments)?
If you choose this option you must be willing to allow the instructor to make the video publically available for educational purposes. We recommend that you ask a fellow student to ask you the questions in an order you prefer, and have the same person video record your answers for you.
Upload onto Google Classroom a one-page doc that provides a link to the video on YouTube along with a title of the video and two or three sentence description capturing the video's overarching sentiment. Also include on the one-pager a list of the references you make to academic literature or other major sources.
Reflection on Harvey or Friedmann's work. Respond to Prompt A or B created for this task. Include in your response some current event as a way to flesh out (i.e., add substance and color to) your particular perspective.
You have two options to select from to complete this task: (3.1) a written essay of 1500-2000 words, which can include images, or (3.2) a video that creatively accomplishes the same task in 3 minutes (give or take 30 seconds).
Your essay or video should concentrate on just one of the Prompts. Feel free, however, to weave into your essay a comparative perspective of Harvey/Friedmann as part of your informed views of the matter. But let me make it clear: adding a comparative perspective in this way is not expected or required, doing so would be very hard and beyond what we expect. GRADING CRITERIA for this part of the assignment is indicated in the Prompts.
Option A: Respond to what is called for in Prompt A or B (see below) in the form of a 1500-2000 word essay. Include in your response some current event as a way to flesh out (i.e., add substance and color to) your particular perspective. Include a bibliography listing the references you make to academic literature or other major sources.
Option B: Respond to what is called for in Prompt A or B (see below) in the form of a video. Include in your response some current event as a way to flesh out (i.e., add substance and color to) your particular perspective.
The video should be 3 minutes long give or take 30 seconds. If you choose this video option you must upload to Google Classroom a one page study guide to go with the video to help future students understand the points you cover; and you must be willing to make the video and study guide publically available for educational purposes).
Include a link to the video on YouTube on your one page study guide, along with a bibliographic list of the academic literature or other major sources you cite in the video.
