You may discuss any of the following in this letter:
* Your strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and how these may have changed or your awareness of these may have been altered.
* The essay that you are most pleased with
* The essay that you are least pleased with
* The difficulty level of the various essays you completed for this class
* The format of this class
* The quality of lecture notes, instructor feedback on papers, and other materials
* The helpfulness of the textbook
* Your progress from Comp I to Comp II
Though this letter is to be addressed to the instructor, the real point of this paper is for you to reflect on this semester–how the course did (or did not) help you grow as a writer–and prepare yourself for other writing assignments you may have in the future.
Please be sure to review the Submit Your Assignment of Unit #7 section for specific instructions on how you should turn in your work for grading. The Final Letter to the Instructor is due at the end of Unit #7.
Lecture Notes
For your final paper in this class, you will be writing a 3-4 page letter to the instructor evaluating this course and your progress this semester. You will want to use examples and explanation to justify your evaluation.
Again, you may discuss any of the following in this letter:
*Your strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and how these may have changed or your awareness of these may have been altered.
*The essay that you are most pleased with
*The essay that you are least pleased with
*The difficulty level of the various essays you completed for this class
*The format of this class
*The quality of lecture notes, instructor feedback on papers, and other materials
*The helpfulness of the textbook
* Your progress from Comp I to Comp II
Please be sure to justify your evaluations of your own work and the course using specific examples whenever possible.
Here are some questions to keep in mind as you are revising your Final Letter to the Instructor:
* Is the overall focus of the letter clear in the first paragraph? In other words, does the first paragraph make it clear what you’ll be discussing specifically?
* Are examples from your own essays (or the course materials) used to support your claims?
* Is the letter generally well-organized, and does it use transitions effectively?
* Is there a sense of closure (or completion) in the conclusion?
