Reflection on inquiry and your future

 

Write a two-page (750-1000 word) essay reflecting on your broader learning experience and goals. Questions to consider (These are merely writing prompts to help guide your reflection):

 

· What have been the most useful insights and highlights over the year in this class?

· What have you learned about your own academic goals and values over the year (in this and other classes)?

· As this class is titled Freshman Inquiry, how have you demonstrated inquiry in this class and in other learning contexts this year?

· What have you learned about your ability to contribute informed and original ideas into a professional/scholarly dialog/discourse/discussion?

· What decisions, resolutions, or next steps are you making in terms of your academic career here at the university?

 

As you write and shape your essay, think about how best to organize it. Does it make more sense to order the information chronologically? From most to least important point? From struggles to breakthroughs? In other words, your final essay shouldn’t read like a free association. Nor should it read like a list of responses to the above writing prompts. Revise and organize your essay into a logical order that best fits the points you are trying to make.

 

This reflection should be about what you learned, not about what you liked.
