Final reflection | English Assignment: I need help writing a research paper.

 

Assignment

In addition to your comprehensively revised essay, you must submit a reflective essay that addresses the following prompts:

• What did you learn in the course about entering academic conversations?
• For what reason must you cite sources when writing academically?
• How have your ideas about writing changed over the course of the semester?

This should be a 2-4 page essay that reflects more than reports. Remember, in order to appropriately reflect, follow these steps:

1. Report what happened—this is the shortest aspect of your writing.
2. Explain why it’s important—this should be the focus of your reflection.
3. Predict how it will affect your future.

Example:

(1) As a group, we read and annotated the article. After a discussion and brainstorm, we collaboratively wrote a response and posted it in the online forum. (2) This was my first time working collaboratively for an entire writing-based project. At first, I was really nervous about how I would get along with the group, and especially how we would balance the writing part of the assignment. However, as we started the work, the group made some guidelines to help all of us work together effectively. I think that setting these rules before we started was essential to our success. The most important rules all involved open and honest communication, and not allowing anyone to laugh or negatively comment about ideas. (3) In the future, I’d like to start every group project by creating a set of guidelines for the group to follow.
