Writer’s Journal Prompt [Blogs@Baruch]
Choose either this discussion question from Hinton to respond to:
- Write about a previous writing assignment that was a challenge for you. What strategies did you use at the time? After reading the chapter, what other strategies do you think might have been useful?
OR
- Write about what seems challenging in the Literacy Narrative assignment. What strategies can you employ to tackle these challenges? What questions remain or things are still unknown about this assignment?
Quarterly Check-In [Blackboard]
This is a short survey to check-in on our progress and provide self-assessment about your participation in the course so far.
I want to know what’s going well, what I can improve on, and what questions you have. I’ll use this feedback to make any adjustments to the course I can and will try to address questions as they arise.
You can also reach out via email at any time if you have questions that require an immediate, direct response from me.
- What’s going well? What readings or writing prompts have been especially productive or interesting to you so far? What is working well in the organization, delivery, or interactivity in the course?
- What’s challenging? What readings or writing prompts have not been interesting or engaging to you? What suggestions do you have to improve the organization, delivery, or interactivity in the course?
- What questions do you have about the materials/course/etc. or aspects of the course do you think need clarifying?
