1. (LO 9) End-of-Course Reflection
Purpose: Reflect on your journey as a writer during the course of Composition II, considering what you have learned, and what skills you can apply in future written work.
Task:
Write a well-thought-out reflection about how you and your writing have evolved through the class. Ask yourself and answer the following questions to craft an essay of about 4 well-considered paragraphs.
How have your planning/drafting/writing strategies and critical thinking practices evolved this semester? What has worked well for you and what hasn’t?
What do you wish you had known when you began the course that you know now?
Look back at your feedback from your previous assignments. What feedback were you able to learn from and incorporate into your later writing and revision practices?
What skills, techniques, or ideas might you use from this course in future classes or other work?
Finally, what are you doing WELL? What’s working for you? What have you noticed in your writing? How are you improving?
This paper should employ first person (“I”) but still should communicate clearly and correctly, adhering to the conventions of written English.

No secondary sources are needed or encouraged. Plagiarism, as always, will not be tolerated. Please ask if you have any questions about citation or academic honesty.
