DSF Spring 2024 Learner Log Entry #1

Prompts

The rose/bud/thorn learning model is a simple but powerful tool for reflection and improvement. It encourages people to identify positive aspects (roses), challenges (thorns), and opportunities (buds) in a given situation. This information can then be used to plan for the future and make changes as needed.

Here is how the rose/bud/thorn learning model works:

Identify roses. What went well? What did you enjoy? What were you proud of?
Identify thorns. What challenges did you face? What could have been done better? What did you learn from your mistakes?
Identify buds. What opportunities are there for growth? What are you curious about? What new things would you like to try?

Rose:

The highlight from the previous FOSS session, such as something you found particularly interesting. This could also be something you're excited to implement now.

I found the HackMD tool used for FOSS lesson 1 very interesting; I would consider using it for future work to present my work publicly.
I enjoyed the breakout sessions; They were very interactive and insightful.

Bud:

Something that you are looking forward to digging into deeper. This could also include ideas on how to apply concepts to your research in the future.

I have benefitted from open science through open-access publications, open-source data, and open-source software like Python and R. As an upcoming researcher, I will be committed to applying open science principles to ensure that the products of my research are accessible to the public space.

Thorn:

Something that was challenging that could be worked on, such as anything that wasn't 100% clear and could be elaborated on. Any sticking points should be addressed here.

Additional thought

Write anything that you think would be important for YOU later on.
