NOTES TO DR. HALBERT

Your final project in class is to produce two notes in two seperate files. Please label each note at the top as listed below and write each as if it were a letter to Dr. Halbert. Each should be between half a page to a page.

Note #1: The Research Paper (Post as an attachment to the "Note #1 Dropbox")

• What was your topic and why did you pick it?
• How did the research process go for you? What database sources helped? What mistakes did you make while doing research? What will you do differently on future projects?
• How difficult was it to integrate research into your paper without turning the essay into a summary of facts?
• What works well about the paper?
• What leaves you a bit concerned about the paper? What could you have done differently to avoid that problem?

Note #2: My Writing Process and the Class (Post as an attachment to the "Note #2 Dropbox")

• What are the biggest challenges you face in terms of writing? How will you adress these issues in future classes where there isn't the structured support of a Writing course?
• Describe an ideal writing process as you understand it: once you get an assignment, how should you plan and execute the paper?
• What parts of the course worked in your opinion?
• What could be improved upon in the course design and execution by Dr. Halbert?
• Should Dr. Halbert continue to use the Education theme for the course? If so, why? If not, what would you suggest instead?

REMEMBER: these should be on two separate notes with two different files to be uploaded to the proper dropbox.
