Final reflection

• Which in class writing was your favorite? Why?

           My favorite class writing was the "I believe." It brought me back to things that I have molded my morals and values. Has developed me into the woman I have become.

• Which in class writing was your least favorite? Why?

           My least favorite class writing was having to write about the video we had to create the story line. Was hard for me to put it into words.

• Review all your writing chronologically (earliest to latest). List three interesting observations or changes in your writing. Which are the most profound (obvious and important)? Why?

           After reflecting on my writings, I noticed a few things about myself. Depending on what topic we had to write on, words seemed to flow with some and not others. If it came to experiences, seemed to be easier to get a lot down. I also noticed that when given a topic the start of the writing didn't make sense at first but the more I wrote the better it flowed.

• If you could change anything about your writing this semester what would it be? Why?

           One of the things that I would change about my writing is put more effort into getting more out of my thoughts and down on paper. 

• What did you like best about this course?

           What I liked best about this course is our writing had us do a lot of self reflecting and had us use our imagination.

• What did you like least about this course?

           The least thing I liked about this course was stepping out of my comfort zone as far as getting into groups and letting them read my writing but was actually a good thing to step out of my comfort zone.

• What would you have done differently this semester if you could have a do-over?

           Something that I would have done differently this semester was put a little more effort into my writing

• What did learn about yourself as a student, a thinker, a writer this semester?

            Things that I learned about myself as a student is I don't give myself enough credit when its due.

• What could I, Ms. A., have done differently to improve the course?

            I was really worried about this class when first enrolled. Never was good at writing or at least I thought so until Ms. A. I wouldn't change a thing about this course. 

• You begin this course with an engagement and participation score of an A.  Attendance, participation in activities and group work help you to maintain this grade.  Evaluate yourself and assign yourself a grade for the in class portion of this course.  Don’t forget the reasoning behind your self assigned grade.

            

           As I look back at the semester as a whole, I feel pretty good about my grade. I think that attendance is an important part of being a successful student. When you don't show up for class, there is something important that can be missed. I really tried to make it a point not to miss any classes. The activities at first were hard to open up to but as time went on, it became easier to step out of the comfort zone. So with this being said, I give myself a solid A.

Final thoughts

           This semester will finish my freshman yr in college. Since being out of school for so long, some things have been a challenge for me. It has taken a lot of courage to go back to school at the age of 38. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. I'm loving  the fact that I get to meet a lot of new people, some older and some younger. This has been the best decision I have ever made.
