FINAL THOUGHTS

You will need to write two separate notes (on two separate pieces of paper). Do not put them in your final essay envelope. Please write them as a note rather than a list. Each note should be at least half a page long. Put your name on each of them.

NOTE #1: The Research Paper

• Why did you pick your topic?
• What are you most proud of with the final product besides completing it?
• What were the biggest challenges you faced with this project? What would you do differently if you could start over? Why?
• What are your greatest strengths as a writer?
• What weaknesses do you have that still need some work? How will you compensate for them?
• What helps you the most in terms of the writing process? In other words, what steps can you take in future writing assignments to produce better a paper?

NOTE #2: The Course

• Did the course feel like a college class?
• What were the most effective elements of the course?
• What were the weaknesses of the course?
• What did you think of the education theme?
• What would you change about the course if you could change it? What would you absolutely insist stay the same?
