In “How I Found the Time for Reflective Learning,” Dr. Richard Eve explains why he believes reflection is important to his practice as a surgeon and how he fits reflection into his busy life. Reflection is a beneficial skill for a variety of learners, tasks, and goals. As we near the end of the course, it is useful to look back and consider what was learned and how it was learned, as well as what challenges arose. This reflection will help you make the most of your learning in WRTG 112 and can inform how you approach future courses and writing endeavors.

Would you respond differently to those challenges in future courses? Has your attitude towards writing changed during this course? Why or why not? Consider the aspirations you identified in Week 1. As the course nears an end, do you believe your learning in Introduction to Writing has been effective in helping you move toward your goals? Why or why not? You might mention aspects of your way of working in the course and/or elements of the course itself. Peer Response (first peer response due by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday; second peer response due by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday) Introspection is valuable in developing ourselves, but we cannot discount the value of learning from those around us. Select at least one peer and comment on what aspects of that person’s experience were instructive or helpful for you. How did the person help you think about things in a different way? Respond to PEER comment : #1 Alex Throughout the course, I faced challenges in time management and adapting to academic writing styles. To overcome these hurdles, I implemented a structured schedule and utilized the lessons from the grammar labs for writing assistance. In future courses, I aim to split up the workload instead of trying to finish it as fast as possible and proactively seek help to address difficulties more efficiently. My attitude towards writing has evolved positively in terms of increased confidence and appreciation for its importance in various contexts, despite the fact that I still don’t particularly enjoy the process. Reflecting on my aspirations from Week 1, I believe the course has effectively equipped me with foundational academic writing skills, critical thinking abilities, and somewhat improved communication. #2 Celina Through out this course I faced many challenges and I have learned a lot. One of the things I struggled with is time management. I found a great online planner that gave me reminders of when I needed to turn in assignments. I feel that my writing skills have improved throughout this course due to my writing getting feedback from my fellow classmates as well as the information given to us through the grammar labs. Taking this course has brought me closer to my goal of getting my college degree. Completing this course will give me the credits I need but that is not all this class has done for me. I have learn plenty of new writing techniques throughout this course that I will use in my future courses. One thing I will be taking forward is breaking my writing into step so that way it is easier write.
