Final Reflection on Your WRTG 394 Experience
Assignment Summary
In this final writing assignment, you have the opportunity to write a short (150-250 words) document that allows you to reflect on what WRTG 394 has been like for you. You’ll have the opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings about what has probably been a very different sort of writing course.
How Your Final Reflection relates to your other work in WRTG 394
You have written – a lot – in WRTG 394. That’s because writing is a skill like playing a musical instrument or playing a sport – practice with coaching is the best way we have for allowing people to developing a skill. That’s why a basketball player may spend time each day practicing free throws or a pianist may spend time each day playing scales – time spent doing something helps anyone become more skilled. Writing works the same way. Here, of course, we’ve focused on two skills – improving your general writing skills as you develop your familiarity and knowledge of a particular type (in writing the term is genre) of writing: business writing. This assignment gives you a chance to reflect on what you think you’ve learned and (perhaps) what you wish you’d learned.
What You Must Provide for the Midterm Reflection
In a single draft (no revision for this as with the midterm reflection assignment), you will discuss what working on developing your skill rather than producing a product has been like for you. You should provide the following for this assignment:
A short memo that discusses your experience thus far in WRTG 394 and mentions in particular any experiences that you have found memorable.
