For your final blog post of the semester, please compose and share a final reflection that addresses the following three areas.  As always, be as specific as possible in formulating your responses and provide concrete examples where appropriate.  Your post must be a minimum of 500 words (approx. 2 double-spaced pages).  All posts must appear on the blog by 5 pm on Friday, December 20^th in order to receive credit.

–How have you developed as a writer over the course of the semester?  Which work are you most proud of? Why? Which writing project presented the most challenges for you? Why?  What aspects of the writing process do you continue to struggle with?  Describe yourself as a writer.   How do you plan to develop and cultivate your voice as a writer in the future?

–Reflecting on our readings and discussions over the course of the semester, identify the ideas, issues, and questions that have stayed with you.  What are you continuing to think about?  What do the concepts of identity and representation mean to you today? Have your thoughts about your own identity shifted in any way over the course of the semester? If so, how?

–As you approach the end of your first semester at Baruch, think about your own personal development as a student, friend, and collaborator, both in this course and elsewhere.  Where have you had to stretch yourself in order to meet the demands of college life?  What has been most difficult? What has been most rewarding?  What are you continuing to wrestle with?  How has this semester surprised you? Think also about what you have contributed to the classroom, to the SEEK cohort, and to the larger Baruch community.

Hi Everyone,

We will be meeting in a computer lab for Wednesday’s class.  Please meet in the VC in room 6-130 at our regular time (9:55).  We will be working on finding sources for your research projects!!!

See you tomorrow in VC 6-130.

This will be our course blog for English 2100.  We will be using this space to store important information about the course, to post and respond to assignments, to share ideas and resources related to our work together, and to continue our in-class conversations outside of the classroom.  Like me, you are an author of this blog, which is administered by blogs@baruch.  I invite you to add your voice to this space freely; the more you contribute, the richer our experience will be.

While this blog functions primarily as an extension of our classroom, please be aware that the site can be accessed publicly.  If you love the experience of participating in a blog, you may want to think about creating your own blog.  Any member of the Baruch College community can use the blogs@baruch platform to create a blog of his/her own.

I am looking forward to getting to know you in the coming months and to enjoying what will surely be an interesting and productive semester!

Professor Jennifer Sylvor
