A reflective essay is one that collects your thoughts on a subject writing the essay is just a way of thinking back on what you learned. This should be a very personal piece of writing; it is more about you and what you learned. It should highlight the factors that went into the choices you made throughout the course, and how those choices affected.

With this reflective essay, you will (1) account for and evaluate the writing choices you made by reflecting on your own writing processes for the different genres of academic writing that we have covered in this course, and in a series of takeaways, (2) illustrate how they impacted your writing. As evidence, your essay must reference and discuss excerpts from your writing and writing process, strategies employed, specific lessons and activities from class meetings, etc. Applicable items will be appended to the end of your essay.
