  All UWP Classes, Fall 2002 Report of Learning (ROL)
  

  • Keep in mind:

    ** the 5Cs: competency, consistency, cooperation, communication, and creativity.

    ** Bloom and Krathwohl's Taxonomy of Learning: latent learning, recognition, recall, application, analysis, evaluation, and synthesis.

  • Reports of Learning (ROL) must be interactive and interdependent. You are responsible for telling me what you have accomplished, verifying it with your journal, and then emailing me a brief ROL. A ROL must be interactive to be effective. By writing your own ROL and negotiating it with me, means that you must assume responsibility for your learning by giving me detailed evidence of your learning.
