English 110--Self-Evaluation  Letter and Portfolio Review

 

Before the final exam, you will complete a self-evaluation of your work for the course in the form of a letter to me (I am your audience). Begin with a general introduction.  Then, answer a series of questions that ask you to evaluate your work over the course of the semester.  For each question you should

·        state your judgment on the area;

·        define the qualities/criteria that comprise the area;

·        use clear explanation and specific examples from your own essays, from your writing process, or from my comments or handouts to support your answers.

·        explain how you can improve the area under discussion. 

Finish your essay with a brief, general conclusion. 

 

Format: You will type your letter and submit it at the beginning of the final exam period. Use a letter format (no need for addresses) and please DOUBLE SPACE the body.  Begin with general introduction and then develop your answers to each question in a long paragraph (3 total paragraphs in the body of the essay).  Each section should be about 200 words long. 

YOU WILL SUBMIT YOUR SELF-EVALUATION ESSAY IN A FOLDER WITH ALL OF YOUR CORRECTED ESSAYS.
