How and when will I use this in the future?
In each assignment page of this website, the applications sections answer this question for the individual assignments.
Why is the course helpful?
This course is helpful because it taught me how to be a better writer. As a result of this course I am better organized, and I now plan my papers more extensively to achieve better quality work.
How Have I grown as a Writer?
After I completed the second assignment in this course (the self study) I achieved immediate improvements in my writing style. By doing the self study I realized that my strength was planning. Consequently on the third assignment I planned extensively to maximize my strength as a writer. Now that i know my strength as a writer is planning I will utilize extensive planing in every future writing assignment I have.
What evidence is there that I improved?
My grades show this improvement. On the first assignment I earned a 90%, immediately after completing the self study I earned an improved 96% on the second assignment. On my third and final assignment after fully developing my newfound writing strategy, I earned a 100%. Consequently doing the writing self study assignment allowed me to unlock my full potential as a writer. Further evidence of improvement can be seen by looking at my planning sections in the assignment tabs. Each assignments planning was more comprehensive than the last, and the longer the planning the better the grade earned.
For the following reasons I believe I have earned an A in this course:
· I always put forth maximum effort.
· I was ten minutes early to every class and never missed a day.
· I had excellent class participation; I participated at least four to five times in every class by
answering questions, and sharing my journal entries.
· I completed every journal entry (18 entries) and took class notes.
· I actively sought out critiques on my assignments.
· In the online responses to the Writing About Writing articles, I gave extremely detailed answers
and referenced the text, and I responded to three to four classmates consistently, and promptly with relevant information.
· My portfolio is well made with an easy to follow design, all planning materials from assignments, and even email-communications included.
· Above all else I completed the primary objective of the course because I improved my writing style and learned life long skills in the process.
