Reading 12: Textbook Ch. 2 Writing Reviews p. 70-74 (instructors may also want to assign or discuss in class sample drafts from Appendix B)
Objective: To review the work you have completed in the course and to reflect on what you have learned from it.
Description: Description: To complete this assignment, begin by taking the post-semester diagnostic available at the E-Handbook site. You will need to include a discussion of the pre- and post-semester diagnostic in your review. Then look back at your pre- and post-semester grammar diagnostic scores and results, all of your assignments and commentary, and class notes and in-class activities. Based on what you find when you examine these materials, write a 400 - 550 word reflection on what you have learned about academic writing and what you understand about it that wasn’t clear to you before. Develop a thesis that helps your readers understand what you will focus on in the review.

Develop a thesis that helps your readers understand what you will focus on in the review.
Then, give specific examples that help you illustrate your thesis. For example, you can discuss specifically what you have learned about summarizing and paraphrasing texts, about analyzing texts, as well as what kinds of challenges those tasks posed for you. You should also discuss what you have learned about grammar and mechanics that has helped you become a stronger writer in that respect. In addition, you should also talk about other learning experiences you’ve encountered during the course. Finally, you should discuss how the work you’ve done in 1301 has or has not transferred to the writing you have been asked to do in other courses this semester.
You may use first-person pronouns in this review, but keep in mind that the language and tone of the review should be professional.
