0. Inadequate If you wish to provide comments for the writer of the peer assessment, please place your comments here. Well done and good luck with the course!
General Comments: -Not a lot of effort or time went into this by how it is presented (copy-paste from Wikipedia with hyperlinks still included, instead of processing the material yourself) -English bit off -Way too much text on power point (First title is really unacceptably long, this is an essay title- not a presentation title)
-Very nice idea of putting the course material in the context of Indian (your native?-) education system/history! Although a reference and examples/evidence of what you claim, is still missing. -Include a clear ending in your presentation! Let the audience know that this is the end, by recapitulating, asking questions, etc.
Question 1: Why it is important to draw on the ideas of indigenous perspectives, researched knowledge, and new practices as you design learning experiences for your students? -From slide 4 onwards, you completely focus on the details of the Indian systems and do not connect these with the question. The reader is lost is details and does not know how this relates to the topic at hand. The assignment was not a summation of Indian educational practices, but it feels that way. -At slide 13 you finally connect the general idea of how the old Indian systems could be used in modern India, but the amount of details that you have given were really an overkill, distraction and frankly just a lazy copy-paste from Wikipedia (hyperlinks weren't even deleted!) -I like your passion with which you write about the importance of indigenous Indian culture, but it seems like you would force everyone to learn Sanskrit just to read the original scriptures! You do not nuance your arguments or give any references or evidence or even realistic suggestions.
Question 2: How will you build in your understanding of the importance of a growth mindset into your planning? -You state that grading and judging is a fixed mindset, why? It does not need to be. There can still be a focus on grading with an open mindset. If you meant to say that grading encourages a fixed mindset and would present some proof, then this would make sense. Now you are merely claiming things without providing evidence. -I like your quote about potential.
-Again, your arguments are not supported by explanations,examples, evidence or references. -Slide 13 you do give a bit more elaboration on how to instill an open mindset. And you clearly connect the course material with your own perspective/experience. Good! This was the assignment!
-You then fall back to your previous method of declaring things such as “ to create anawarenessamong schools and within community to closely monitor theactivitiesoftheirchildren” (It seems almost like you copied these pieces of text from one source to another without editing the lay-out). You do not give concrete examples, only vague and general statements about what you feel is important (team work etc). -Good ending!
