At the end of each unit, I will ask you to submit a reflection on your/our work for that unit. The instructions/rubric for each one will be very similar.

The Due Date for Unit 1 Reflections is March 2 (Tuesday) before the start of class. You are welcome to submit them on Blackboard OR post them on the course site, if you would like to share your reflections with the class. There will be no penalty for turning this in late.

In your reflection, please answer the following questions:

1. What do you feel like you learned this unit that you didn’t know before?
2. What did you already know , but now understand better or learned more about?
3. What (if anything) do you feel like I wanted you to learn, but you still aren’t sure about?
4. What are the strengths of the writing you did for this unit? What are you most proud of?
5. If you were to revise the writing you did for this unit, what would you want to do differently?
6. How would you describe or rate your participation/engagement in this unit?
7. What did you do this unit that helped make you successful?
8. What (if anything) do you want to do differently in the next unit?
9. What additional things (resources, support, information, etc.) do you wish you had had for this unit?
10. Is there anything you would like me to change (in the structure of our course, in how I’m presenting information, etc.) going forward?
11. What (if anything) from this unit would you like to discuss/think about/explore further? (either this semester or just in your life)

You can write this as an essay, or you can copy/paste the questions and answer each one individually. You can be as formal or as informal as you want.

Length Requirement: There is no set length (in pages or word count) for this reflection. Your reflection should be as long as it needs to be for you to feel like you have answered all of the questions.

The unit reflection will be graded out of 5 points.

0 points: You didn’t turn in a reflection.
