Week 2
In this first week of class, I would like to get a sense of your writing process, what works, what you would like to change or improve, and your general goals for our semester together.
Please write as much as you would like about the following three questions:
1) What is your typical writing process? What works? What feels good? What doesn’t work or doesn’t feel so good? If you have to write a paper, how do you go about doing it?
2) What motivates you to write? Why are you doing the writing you’re doing? Why did you decide to take a course on writing? How could you remind yourself of this larger goal as motivation to write?
3) What specifically do you want to learn or practice in this course? Do you have any particular goals or intentions?
Please note: I am not going to be grading the weekly reflections as if they are final writing products. You are welcome to use the editing techniques we discuss to improve them, but I am reading these all as drafts. I will be reading them for content, and for the information you're conveying to me.
