ESSAY: Learning Achievement Memo (Max 3 pages)

Your individual Learning Achievement Memo (L.A. Memo) is due at the end of term (date to be announced separately). This is a reflection paper that allows you to consider the course holistically. It is an important component of the course work that allows you to showcase your learning.  The ideal length is about 3 pages. Please USE the TEMPLATE

              This goal of this memo is an opportunity for you to be reflective and introspective.  Briefly, the memo should touch on at least the following: What have I learnt? How have I grown? What have I mastered or spent extra time thinking?  What one aspect or topic am I most excited about? What of these concepts have I applied or thought about applying to some real world situation or even my personal life?

· One, an opportunity to take stock of information/theory/topics that you have added to your arsenal/inventory/tool kit since the start of the class to the end of term. I.e.,

· What have I learnt to date in this course? 

· What do I now know that I did not 10 weeks ago?

· How has it impacted the way I view the world?

· Two, potential/actual applications:

· How have I applied or considered applying any of these concepts to my work/career/life?

· How has impacted the way I shop?

· Three, Excitement:

· What is the one thing that I have learnt really well/the most about/got most excited about?

· How does/could this relate to my current/future career?

              This is an opportunity to provide a thoughtful, introspective, interesting applications oriented memo.  It might be the one thing that you could hand to someone who might pay for your education (parent, employer) to explain in what way have you developed and grown over the last few months.

Note: I am not looking for a laundry list of items.  This is not the place for complaints about group members, etc. This memo should be, in part, a retrospective log-book for a performance review; and in part a forward looking document that discusses your future value to an organization.

It should be interesting, readable, perhaps even funny, and above all well written.  You can be creative with the format.

Submission Instructions.

Naming Your File for LA-MEMO:

              As you send in your LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT MEMO to me please remember that I will receive many memos (from multiple sections and classes). Please think about the RECEIVER/CLIENT of the file when you email documents of any sort.

So, if you only name your file LAMEMO.DOC, this will require me to open the file and rename it with your name or some unique identifier. This makes it easy for you as the sender but very hard for the receiver.  This also makes the client less than happy.

 

FILE NAME: As a courtesy to your clients and throughout your digital career, please include in the document file name: Your name, and Topic.

Ex: Arun_Zander-LAMemo.DOC is good.
