Rhetoric and Writing

Reflection

To reflect means to give serious thought or consideration. When we are thinking about our writing process, this means that we want to consider what we have done well, what we could do better, and how we have met the objectives of the assignment and course. In doing this, we want to go through our papers and use examples from them to support the claims that we are making about how we have done in the course.

To complete a reflection assignment, try to consider the following:

Read the objectives on your syllabus. Then, reread the assignment and your submission. In a separate document, address some of your observations about your writing and your general knowledge. 

Reflect on each writing project and what you will take away from the specific project into your next English composition class. You can also present (in depth) one specific paper, with supporting evidence.

You can also consider: 
- time management
- organization
- research skills
- source usage
- argument
- analysis
- citations
