Self Evaluation

What is a Self Evaluation Letter? It is an formal letter that will address your opinion on this course and how it did or did not change your writing. So, how should you write this letter? I am going to layout some basic instructions for you:

This is a formal letter. You should format this letter according to the instructions received in class. You may use first and second person in your writing. You are not expected to use academic sources of any kind. This does NOT mean that your writing should be sloppy or casual. You should still write using the same professionalism you have used throughout the semester.
Answer the following questions in this letter:
How has your writing changed over the last 14-16 weeks? Give at least three specific examples from essays you have written.
What part of your writing still needs a lot of work? Give two examples.
What was your favorite/most effective part of this course?
If you could change one aspect of this class what would it be? How would it help you be a better writer?
What has this class taught you about yourself as a student? How will you use this knowledge for future classes?
Length requirement: This letter must be at least 5 paragraphs in length.
Grading: You will be graded on the content (did you answer the specified questions?) and the overall quality of your writing. I will not deduct points because I don’t agree with or like what you have to say. Please be reasonably constructive. For instance, I am required to assign five essays for this course. It is not reasonably constructive to say that there were too many essays assigned.
