See the reflection.
Matt wrote this reflection as part of a capstone experience while looking back on a course that he took in his junior year. Of particular interest is his use of the CanDo self-efficacy terms found in the course surveys offered by the Department each semester. These survey terms are designed to scaffold students’ metacognitive skills and reflection on their progress and help them set up goals.

Course objectives:
Go to sample: Spanish, 331 and Spanish 331, sec 2
Instructor: M. Geoffron-Vinci Lafayette College
In this Spanish course on Pre-Colombian Latin America, students used images from a research data base created by the professor to “write” a documentary on a topic of their choice. This is a scaffolded project with a print draft and required practice pronunciation with a FLLRC native speaker proctor; most projects were collaborative with students learning from each other.
Communicative objectives: interpretive, presentational (speaking and “writing”).
Katie graduated in 2010. She worked on the ePortfolio over a three year period of time. The Can Do survey and Dialang results helped shape her course choices and final self-reflections. Please compare her CanDo surveys to her home page and final reflections page.
