日志功课摘要

学生必须保有个人日志，其上记述每周所学与了解的航太产业新知，塑造产业的目前事件和他们个人的兴趣。内省是道搜集、纪录和温习资料的流程，这项流程允许我们关键地审视和评估资讯，使自己能下决定或问更多的问题。第一堂将包括教导如何记录一本反映所学的日志。

成功的日志记载并不只是重述所阅读或讨论，这是每周所读或所讨论专题之个人想法与分析，以及这些如何影响产业和如何影响个人。

当你准备日志时，必须谨记心中下列的问题：

1. 什么是关键的概念/创意和它们为何重要？
2. 什么是你在此阅读和/或讨论所得的问题？
3. 此阅读和/或讨论的资讯如何关连至你的生活、你的事业呢？
4. 此阅读和/或讨论的资讯如何关连至本课堂或其他课堂所提及的材料？

格式

在每堂课之后使用不拘形式、具表达意见形态的记载，一页长(约400字)。日志需为持在电子化可打印形式，在学期中必须交三次(参见时间表)，最终的日志必须大约长达10页。

学期成绩的30％是基于此一日志。

日志样本
Sample Journals

学期中每一周，学生要阅读《精实产业价值：从麻省理工学院精实航太专案的见识》(Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT’s Lead Aerospace Initiative)的章节和教授所选之《航空周刊和太空科技》(Aviation Week & Space Technology)的文章。另外学生也须听讲其他教师与/或产业专家的简短介绍。

学生须参与课堂讨论和辩论，除此之外，学生也须保有个人日志，其上记述每周新知与所学，虽然格式不拘，但是记载须充实（大约400字）与能反映所学。在学期中，三篇日志须要缴给教授阅读，至学期末学生要撰写完成约10页。

学生撰写形式与整理方法是不相同的，但是下列节录给予学生三种研讨日志工作方式的感觉，学生允许使用这些节录。

Journal Assignment Summary

Students will keep a personal journal with entries that reflect new knowledge or understanding gained each week about the aerospace industry, the current events shaping it, and their own interests. Reflection is the process of gathering, recording and reviewing of data. That process allows us to look critically and evaluate information, enabling us to make decisions - or ask more questions. The first class includes instruction about keeping a reflective journal.

A successful journal entry is more than a restatement of the reading or discussion. It is your thought and analysis of the topics read and/or discussed each week; how do they impact the industry and how do they impact you.

As you prepare your journal assignments, questions to keep in mind:

1. What are the key concepts/ideas and why are they important?
2. What questions does this reading and/or discussion raise for you?
3. How does the information in this reading and/or discussion relate to your life, your career?
4. How does the information in this reading and/or discussion relate to other material raised in this class or other classes?

Format

Entries about a page (approximately 400 words) in length should be made following each class using an informal, reflective style. The journal should be kept electronically in a printable form. It will be handed in three times during the semester (see schedule). The final journal should be about 10 pages in length.

30% of the semester grade will be based upon the journal.

Sample Journals

In each week of the seminar, students read chapters in Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT’s Lead Aerospace Initiative and articles that the professors chose from Aviation Week & Space Technology. Also, students listened to short presentations by other faculty and/or industry professionals.

Students participated in class discussion and debate. In addition, each student kept a journal with entries that reflected new knowledge or understanding gained each week. Each entry was expected to be substantive (approximately 400 words) and reflective although informal in style. The journals were collected and read by faculty three times during the semester, and at the end of the semester, each student had written approximately 10 pages.

Student writing styles and method of organization varied, but the excerpts that follow give a sense of how three students approached the journal task. The excerpts are used with the permission of the students.
