<h3 id="weekly-work"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#weekly-work"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Weekly Work</h3>
<p>Each week, there are tasks for you to attempt. Sometimes there is a choice of which tasks to do; in those cases, <strong>I'm not looking for the number of these that you complete, but that you push yourself out of your comfort level</strong>. What's more, it's OK if something doesn't work 'perfectly.' The reflection on the process, both your fails and your successes, is the important thing.</p>
<p>Weekly reflections should be completed and logged by the end of the relevant week. Professor Coleman will provide ungraded feedback on this work in order to help you grow. <strong>Instructions for the reflections are found at the bottom of the relevant week's page.</strong> Your weekly reflections are to be submitted in the <code>01 Weekly Journal</code> folder of your Obsidian vault (In .zip file I provided) and published on your Mixa/Memex site. Reflections are to be submitted by Sunday evening, 11:59 pm, of the relevant week. I will review your entries and provide feedback directly to you via email within 3 days.  I will write a brief note sharing my perspective on your work (from the lens of the learning outcomes) and offer some advice. <strong>This weekly work is to help you grow. It is not formally assigned a grade</strong>, but it does provide evidence of your growth against the learning outcomes, and your engagement with it does play into your eventual final grade. Late work can be accepted only through arrangement with Professor Coleman.</p>
<p>If you miss a week or if something comes up, let Professor Coleman know as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made. I want you to be successful; if something comes up, we can adapt accordingly. If you do not let me know, then I cannot help you.</p>

<p>I am looking for the following kinds of evidence (each week will specify what needs to be done):</p>
<ul>
<li>Logs/lab notebook entry that keeps track of what you actually <em>did</em></li>
<li>Reflection on that <em>process</em></li>
<li>Engagement with the materials and your classmates (which might be demonstrated many different ways)</li>
<li>evidence for your growth as a scholar over this course</li>
<li>Academic rigour and insightful analysis</li>
</ul>

Weekly tasks might not be formally ‘graded’, but <strong>are mandatory for course completion and they do count towards your grade,</strong> especially when you need to point to the evidence supporting your consolidation work or your exit ticket/final report. So, it matters that you do this <strong>conscientiously</strong>. While they do not receive a direct grade, they are the essential raw material for your graded Consolidation Reflections. A thoughtful and consistent journaling practice is the foundation for success in the major assignments.</p></div>
