Short Writing


[About the header image.]

Many weeks throughout the semester, I ask you to write a short reflective response to our readings, films, and discussions. Except for the last assignment, in Week 15, all writing is due at 5pm on Fridays and should be uploaded to your section's Canvas page.

Here is the rubric we use to grade weekly responses. Take a look at it as you write or revise your responses. If you would like to discuss strategies please consider talking with Prof. Alexy or your GSI in office hours.
