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 questions below. This is a graded assignment and is worth 10% of your overall grade.

Your reflection should follow this format:

  1. Introduction. What have you learned overall this semester? (You don’t have to share everything here–you’ll have time to share that below. Just give the highlights of what you’ll explain later here.)
  2. What have you learned about yourself as a reader this semester? Give a specific example from one of the texts we’ve read that illustrates what you’ve learned.
  3. How have you changed as a writer this semester? Give a specific example from one of the Major Writing assignments you’ve written that illustrates what you’ve learned. (Hint: Think back to feedback you got from a partner during the peer reviews, from me, or a Writing Center tutor. What advice was given? Contrast your work before and after the feedback came your way.)
  4. Discuss how you might transfer this knowledge about yourself to other writing tasks, assignments, or situations either in college or in your community. Give a specific example.
  5. Conclusion. Wrap it up!

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 the texts we’ve read and your own writing that illustrate your experiences in the course.
  • has been proofread.
  • is approximately 600 words.
  • is submitted in class.

Revision

You may revise one of major units for a higher grade at the end of the semester. Your new grade entirely replaces your old grade. Please come see me during office hours if you’re confused about my comments or you’d like additional feedback.

In order to earn a new grade, you must repost your improved U1, 2, or 3 with the following title: Full Name, Revision of UX and save it under the category Final Reflection and Revison.
