Winter Evaluation Worksheet
These questions are in regard to your winter quarter work. Use the answers you write to draft a selfeval for winter. Then consolidate that draft with your fall quarter self-eval, so that you have a final
draft that reflects your learning for both quarters. Bring that in triplicate to your evaluation
conference.
Please attach this worksheet to the draft of your winter self-evaluation, and turn it in with your
portfolio March 13. Use the back of page 3 for additional space if needed.

Why?
4.
What happened to your seminar skills over the quarter? Have you learned to prepare yourself more
usefully? Do you contribute more often and more constructively now than at the beginning of the
program? The most valuable experience I had in seminar was when …
5.
What are the concepts or skills that you learned through Quantitative Reasoning activities that are the
most significant to you? What did you learn about yourself from the QR workshops and assignments?
6.
What are the concepts or skills that you learned through Art/Animation activities that are the most
significant to you? What did you learn about yourself from the Art/Animation workshops and

Looking back over my lecture, film, seminar and workshop notes and papers, these are some of the
major themes that caught my attention:
9.
This quarter we have been examining concepts of order and disorder, human perception and
phenomena of temporal patterns. How have your ideas about these things changed over the past 10
weeks?
10. If you had this quarter to do all over again, assuming you would still sign up for Patterns, what would
you do differently? E.g., time management, study habits, relations with other students, skill
development, etc. What have you learned about yourself that you will be mindful of next quarter or in
your future studies?
11. How have your views of education changed (or have they?) since you entered the program?
12. What are your goals now? What do you plan to do next quarter? What directions do you want to head
in next year? When you graduate?
On this chart, 1) draw a line tracing your mood/motivation in the program as the quarter progressed. 2) In a different color or style, draw a second line to rate
the reading from 1 (low) to 10 (high) in terms of its overall impression on you and value to you.
