Reflection Assignment 1
Purpose: Your reflection assignments will be comprised of informal reflective writing. These writing activities will
allow you to think about your study habits, your skills and how they develop, and the course material. Your writing
will be reflective in nature, and submissions will be graded as complete or incomplete. I will not be evaluating the
quality of the content. See the rubric below.
Directions:
1. Create a new word document.
2. Compose a series of reflective responses in which you address all the following questions:
a. Review the course modules (what are the humanities, critical thinking, visual arts, music, theater,
film) and discuss which you are most looking forward to and why.
b. Discuss which module you are least looking forward to and why.
c. What are your goals for the semester? What steps are you going to take so that you will
accomplish those goals?
d. What are your academic strengths? Describe how you think they will help you during the
semester.
e. What are your academic weaknesses? Which of these do you want to work during the semester?
f. What will you do to establish a schedule and stay on track with the course requirements
(assignments, readings, communication, etc.) this semester?
g. What are you doing to take care of yourself mentally and physically during the semester? If
you've not thought about this, take opportunity to think about how you will.
h. List anything you think Dr. J should know about you that may help her assist you throughout the
semester. Things to include here would be things like childcare or elder care responsibilities,
unstable or inconsistent access to the internet, a fulltime job, etc. If you do not feel comfortable
disclosing this kind of information, you can skip this question and you will not be penalized.
3. Please be thoughtful with your responses.
4. Save your work and submit to the dropbox.
