Problem
You will complete entries for a writer's journal that will help you track your development as a writer, reader, and thinker over the course of the term. Your journal entries will allow you to examine both the nuts and bolts of your prose, such as grammar, mechanics, and the like. The big questions you are exploring are about writing and rhetoric. Effective writers not only complete writing projects with care and rigor, but also take time to reflect on their writing process after their projects have been completed.
Make one to two pages that responds to at least one of the following questions:
1. How has your understanding of effective writing changed over the course of the term? Consider both in terms of the written text itself and the processes and strategies writers adopt to produce written texts.
2. When you look at your earlier work this semester, how does it compare to the later work you completed?
3. What advice do you have for new students? What will make them successful in the course? What could they learn from your experience?
4. How has the work you've done in this course paid off in other contexts? You may consider how your work in this course has helped you in other courses, your workplace, or some other context.
