Questions

• Which in class writing was your favorite? Why? I would have to say my favorite in class writing was the "this I believe" essay. It was a reflection on what I actually believe in and what inspires me in life. It was awesome reading other peoples thoughts on life as well. 
• Which in class writing was your least favorite? Why? I would have to say the traits. Although I didn't hate writing about the traits we did in class. Out of all it was my least favorite. It did make me laugh a bunch but it was the hardest to write for me. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I just usually don't have any issues writing.
• Review all your writing chronologically (earliest to latest). List three interesting observations or changes in your writing. Which are the most profound (obvious and important)? Why? Before I used so many useless verbs, now I am trying to use different words that draw the reader into my writing a little more. I actually enjoy writing when I used to not enjoy it at all. It has helped me cope with many stresses going on in life and I have been finding myself writing at home in the mornings when I wake up with things on my mind. I use a lot more detail and am able to draw the reader into my writing.
• If you could change anything about your writing this semester what would it be? Why? I would try and write about more optimistic things. My thought process on life has changed drastically since actually doing well in school and I would like to share more about it. 
• What did you like best about this course? I was drawn in immediately. I enjoyed the teaching and also the positive messages that were brought into the course. I was never bored. It helped with my schooling in general. 
• What did you like least about this course? The powerpoint presentation. I was laughing about it the whole time but thinking what is this for necessarily?
• What would you have done differently this semester if you could have a do-over? Maybe in my computers class I would have done all of the work instead of missing some. I would have an A instead of a B.
• What did learn about yourself as a student, a thinker, a writer this semester? I am capable of much more than I thought before. I can actually write and enjoy reading what i have written not thinking it is just boring. I am so much more focused in school as a student. I want to succeed and get a degree when 6 years ago I couldn't have cared less. My thinking is more focused, I am much happier as a human being.
• What could I, Ms. A., have done differently to improve the course? Honestly I enjoyed your class a bunch. It was my favorite off all I have been in. I enjoy your teaching method and it was fun having you as a college teacher. 
• You begin this course with an engagement and participation score of an A.  Attendance, participation in activities and group work help you to maintain this grade.  Evaluate yourself and assign yourself a grade for the in class portion of this course.  Don’t forget the reasoning behind your self assigned grade. I would say I have done well. I have missed a few days but never during vital moments. For example the powerpoint presentation I missed one day but was here for the presentation. I didn't miss any of the writings we had to do. I of course want an A in every class I participate in, but I am not the teacher. If I were to make the decision myself I would say confidently I have earned a high B to an A.
