Writing Your Reflection for Project Two

Writing Your Reflection for Project Two

We've discussed writing reflections informally a few times in this course, but I thought it'd be worth discussing it a little more formally before we you submit your first "official" reflection alongside Project Two this Monday.

1. Format and Evaluation:

As described earlier, your reflection should be 1-2 pages in length. I will not provide comments on your reflection, except from as part of my comments on the Project it is referencing (i.e., your final draft of Project Two). I will, however, award 10 points for successfully submitting your reflection (it will take the place of one of our assigned responses).

2. Content:

As we've also discussed, the objective of your reflection is really quite simple: you should describe how, in writing your draft(s) of Project Two, you learned and or are demonstrating the learning objectives for our course (as listed on the syllabus and pasted below). It's quite likely that certain projects will be more closely tied to particular objectives, but feel free to refer to as many of the learning objectives as you find appropriate.

3. Purpose:

The reflection serves a number of purposes - for both me and you. For me, it is a chance for me to understand your writing process and have greater insight into the ways in which you demonstrate achievement of the course's learning objectives. For you, it is an opportunity to--as the title suggests--reflect back on your experience in writing the essay; doing so should help you better understand the ways in which your work is presenting--or neglecting to present--your success in achieving the class learning objectives. Since our final project in the class is a reflection on the entirety of your assignments, you're also saving your self some time now by writing parts of the reflection as you submit assignments along the way.
