Reflection 

(approximately 600 words)

We have arrived at the end of the semester! Now it is time for you to reflect on what you have done over the course of the last few months. You will write a final reflection (approximately 600 words) that takes into consideration the three questions below. Additionally, if any of your units have been revised, include a paragraph in the final reflection explaining the changes you’ve made and why. This is a graded assignment.

Questions your reflection should address:

Questions your reflection should address:

  1. What have you discovered about yourself as a student and learner this semester?
  2. How have you changed or developed as a reader and writer this semester?
  3. Discuss what you learned with each major unit assignment, and how you might transfer this knowledge to other writing tasks, assignments, or situations either in college or in your community.

While writing your reflection, look back at your unit assignments and select quotes your own writing that show how you applied strategies and skills from class. For example, in the Unit 1 assignment, we discussed and looked at concrete significant details–find an example from your assignment where you used concrete significant detail. Choose quotes that illustrate something about your writing, the assignment, or the genre, and explain why you have included these particular examples of your writing.

Here are the grading criteria for this project:

Your reflection…

  • is thoughtfully written and has a point– it’s not simply a list answering the questions above.
  • uses language, grammar, and sentence structure that makes your meaning clear.
  • includes details and examples from your own writing that illustrate your experiences in the course.
  • has been proofread.
  • is approximately 600 words
  • is submitted on time.
