>>>> FINAL WN Check and Reflection Instructions: (due with your final WN entry--see Course Schedule)
First, count of the number of total entries in your notebook starting 3/21. Take note especially of writing you’ve done on the readings for homework. Begin your reflection—--which you can do as an additional handwritten entry in the WN: please title this with the date and “Final WN Check and Reflection,” OR as a printed, separate document—--by listing your number of entries and quickly evaluating the writing you’ve done on required readings. Then in a short paragraph, evaluate your performance in the notebook across the whole term as proficient or not proficient. If applicable, speak especially to the goals set at mid-term. |
