6. Topics 1-6 Wrap Up

Hey class,

The last seven weeks of class has flown by! Thank you all for your continued efforts. Last week we worked to solidify our understanding of the writing process and further reflect on how it will be implemented in your future.

 

Many of your future courses (especially those at the 300 and 400 level) will require you to write an essay every other week if not every week. We have been fortunate to be able to stretch out our essay over the last six weeks of the class. 

 

Do you plan to have time to utilize all of the resources available when you only have one week to write a final draft of an essay? Which ones are top priority and ones you plan to go back to over and over again with each essay you write? Why?

7. Reflecting on your own communication skills
