💡 Big idea: Consistent documentation and self-assessment are professional habits that connect classroom learning to real clinical practice.

  1. 0-10Retrieve all week's artifacts: diagram, model notes, CER
  2. 10-25Self-check each artifact against the rubric checklist
  3. 25-45Upload all evidence to the Schoology submission folder

Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • This is your weekly wrap-up: everything you produced this week gets organized and submitted today.
  • Submitting complete, well-labeled evidence is a professional skill, not just a grade requirement.
  • Your tracker is your honest record of where you stand, so use it accurately.
  • End with a short reflection that will help you study smarter for the WebXam.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Compile your gland diagram, model notes, and CER.
  2. 2Check each artifact against the rubric criteria.
  3. 3Upload all evidence to the course submission folder.
  4. 4Update your progress tracker with completion status.
  5. 5Write one reflection on what you mastered this week.
You'll be able to
  • All three artifacts are submitted and tracker is updated.
  • Reflection names one concept learned and one to revisit.
Know by the end
  • A complete evidence portfolio demonstrates mastery across knowledge, modeling, and analysis tasks.
  • Self-reflection on learning gaps is a metacognitive skill valued in healthcare careers.
  • Tracker accuracy helps teachers provide targeted support before the WebXam.
