Yeseung Jeong SELF Evaluation

SELF to justify grade

I think my grade is A- or B+. Actually, I wasn't very passionate in class. However, I tried to answer professor’s questions, and even if there were things I didn't know, I thought about it myself and selected answers. There aren't many things that fit the criteria that professor suggested, but the reason why I graded myself like that is that I related genomics to my usual thoughts, and applied new knowledge gained from taking genomics classes to other subjects.

I didn't reveal it in class, but when I listened to Professor Bradley Tatar's "Human Evolution", I thought of genomics the most. Of course, it is most related to human evolution, but it was easy to access not only what I heard in class, but also what part affected the hand and changed the structure of the knee through genomics. I think it's useless if I don't apply the knowledge you've learned. I have enjoyed applying what I have learned from before to real life or other subjects, and I think that the knowledge that has been accepted that way is still in my head for almost 10 years and is using it better than any other knowledge. In this context, I think that the ability to acquire and use knowledge of genomics will have a great impact on all future research and studies.

In my standards, participation in class is important, but it's also very important how well I use what I've learned in class. I love science, and I'm especially interested in something related to humans. It was a very interesting time to find out what I was interested in while writing this genomics essay. I was proud to have learned new knowledge, and the sentence professor said that everything was related to genomics also came to me. So, I want to give me an A- or B+ for using my knowledge by not missing classes, trying to answer questions and applying what I learned from genomics lectures to other cases.
