What did you learn in ESL 501? For the final reflection paper write a short essay (about 1-1.5 pages in length, 250 words minimum, 10-12 pt double spaced) in which you discuss what you have learned in the course. Write about anything you can remember. Be honest and detailed!

You will need to include:


-A discussion of how your writing has improved by taking the class.
-An explanation of what skills you have gained.
-Suggestions on how the instructor can improve the class to help other students learn better next semester.
-A discussion of what aspects of the course were most and least beneficial.
-A description of which lessons you felt were the best and worst and why.
-Anything else that you would like to say about the course.

***Please note: Honest writing is the most helpful.

The reflective essay will be graded on the quality of and effort put into it rather than the grammar or paragraph structure. Objective and critical suggestions and thoughts are most welcome.


3.) Make sure you have completed 10 exercises on Writer's Help. The list of
assigned exercises can be found here.  May 11th Sunday.

This is the end of our course. I hope you have started thinking about writing and become reader-conscious. Some ideas covered in this course might not seem readily applicable to your field. However, you might gradually find that mostly they are general guidelines across disciplines. To be effective writers, we need to be willing to change the way we write. We don't want to be excellent researchers tangled up by the way we write!
