Homework: Writer's Self-Assessment
By now you will have gained some insight into an effective writing process and your specific needs. Through the Discussion, you may have found that your colleagues have similar concerns about their scholarly writing.
In this Homework, you will build on the Discussion in which you analyzed your writing needs. You will cite specific examples of instructor feedback or past assessments that illustrate your writing needs and/or strengths. You may also reference any relevant feedback from Discussion responses you received. This Homework is designed to help prepare you for subsequent work, when you will practice components of an effective writing process.
To prepare for this Homework:
In addition to addressing specific issues covered in the Discussion, consider writing feedback you received from other sources, such as past instructors or assessments. Consider any specific issues, problems, concerns, and strengths. Use the Learning Resources for this week to guide you through your reflection.
