This year, I learned quite a bit, from what an exponent is to how I can make change in a community. In this post I will be showing evidence of my learning this year, and tell the stories of how I learned it.
Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am the expert on my own learning. I am also responsible and accountable for my own learning. You can expect me to give an honest evaluation of my progress. We will discuss my strengths and opportunities for growth. Thank you in advance for listening and for offering feedback that I can use to improve as a learner.
One of my favourite projects this years was called “Game of exponent laws” and in it, I learned about how chance makes game more replayable, what exponent laws are, and how they function. Me and my partner created a board game that uses exponents as a game mechanic to make gameplay interesting.
In this project I learned about exponent laws, how to make a board game, how to write instruction for a game (which is harder than you would think), and how math can make games more fun and replayable.
In this project I struggled with writing concise and clear rules that were easy to follow, especially when the game contained complex math elements. I also found learning some of the math concepts hard.
Another memorable project this year was the “Revolutions on Trail” project in humanities. In this project, I learned about the historical reasons for revolutions, what happened in them, and how effective they were. I also learned the crane brinton theory and how it can be applied to past and future events.
All I have learned from this project is represented in the quality of the final performance, which featured many skills that me and my peers learned.
I struggled writing the affidavit, because finding primary sources is pretty hard. but I also know that other revolutions had it harder because of how obscure knowledge about them can be.
This was probably the most interesting humanities project this year for me, and that is why it is in this post.
And that wraps up my first ever MPol post. Thanks for listening and/or reading it.
