This semester has been filled with many opportunities for adjusting and learning in several areas: new classroom design, instructional formats, writing criteria, feedback application, assignment integrity, revision and editing techniques, strategies for completing various writing assignments, including taking quizzes, time management, attention to tasks, soliciting assistance, etc. ( You can come up with additional areas that you think applies to your growth in ENG 1301.)
For your Final Exam, reflect on your behaviors that caused you to be successful in the areas that apply to your overall development while in ENG 1301. Also, reflect on your behaviors that made way for challenges in these areas. Once you have thought about your own behaviors write a FULL 3-page essay that answers the following question:
What personal responsibility will I take for applying what I adjusted to and learned about myself as a student and as an essay writer that I believe will increase my opportunities for success in ENG 1302?
