LIT 3030:  FINAL COURSE/READING JOURNAL REFLECTION

In this final journal entry, please address each of the following questions in as much detail as possible.  Your entry must be a minimum of 600 words (although it can be more).  Since this final journal entry asks a little more of you than some of your earlier posts, it is weighted heavier in the final GPA than the earlier entries.

Address each of these questions:

-What was your view of writing before the term began?

-How did your view of writing change as the trimester progressed?

-Was your writing influenced by the work of any of the student writers (student examples) we read this term?

-Which of your writings is your best work? Why?

-Which of your writings is your weakest? Why?

-What are your strengths as a writer?

-What are your weaknesses?

-Can you trace your development as a writer this term?

-How did your view of poetry change over the trimester? How did you view it at the beginning of the term?  How do you view it now? Why?

-What have you learned about yourself as a writer and/or a reader this semester? How does that correspond with what you knew before the term began?

-Do you feel this course improved your critical thinking skills, why or why not?

-Overall, do you feel this was a valuable course for you, why or why not?
