Homework
Context: In many work places, reflection is a tool that is often used. You may be asked to submit an end-of-quarter or end-of-year self-evaluation, you may be asked to sit down with your supervisor for an interview, or you may be asked to write a letter to go in your promotion file. In all of these cases, you're often asked to reflect on the work you've done, explain the seen and unseen work you did, justify your value to the company, and explain what you've learned or how you've improved in that time frame. In less formal reflections, you might sit down with a team at work and reflect on how a project went and what you'd do differently in future.
In short, reflection helps us recall what we did, what we learned through that process, what we achieved, and what we would do differently in future. As such, it is an important goal in any workplace.
Scenario: For this homework, you will reflect on your Ethics Email and the revision process. You should format the reflection as a self-evaluation letter.
You'll imagine that the work you did last week--the drafting of your email, the peer review, and the revision--were part of a work project, and I, your boss, have asked you to reflect on the project, your role in the project, and what your takeaways are. You can organize the letter however you like, but here are some guiding questions to help you:
• What writerly decisions did you make as you wrote the Ethics Email? Why did you make those choices? How did you adjust course or revise after feedback from your peers and why?
• How did feedback from your peers ("coworkers") help you understand the task or goals of the project better? Who, if anyone, provided meaningful feedback on your draft?
• Why do you think the final Ethics Email you wrote was an effective document? In what ways did it achieve the goals of the project that were set forth at the beginning of the project? What key concepts from our class so far did you apply to your Ethics Email?
• What do you feel could still be improved in the Ethics Email you submitted? What would you do differently in future, if/when you are assigned a similar task?
• What are you proudest of?
• What were the main lessons (about emails, ethics, revision, providing feedback to peers, etc) you'll take away from this project?
Format your homework according to the give formatting requirements:
