1.) Which in class writing was your favorite? Why?
-  I like the "This I believe" writing because it allowed me to talk about some of my experiences that made me the person I am today.

2.)Which in class writing was your least favorite? Why?
- My least favorite writing was "If I were Invisible" because I didn't have a lot to say, so it was very bland.

3.) 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?
-  I can tell that I have improved in my writings over the course of this semester. I learned to dig deeper and think of more things to write about. I also learn to not use words repetitively. I also learned how to use many different word's instead of the same words that I usually repeat.

4.) If you could change anything about your writing this semester what would it be? Why?
-I would try to work on not repeating some of my words as much as I do now because I catch myself doing that all the time.

5.) What did you like best about this course?
- I liked how it wasn't a typical course that I usually had. We didn't follow a strict lesson plan and the free writes were fun and memorable.

6.)What did you like least about this course?
- I wish we had more time to read "The heart and the fist" instead of a last minute read.

7.) What would you have done differently this semester if you could have a do-over?
- Read "The heart and the fist" book sooner than the last few weeks of the semester.

8.) What did learn about yourself as a student, a thinker, a writer this semester?
- I can do the work as a student, I have a lot of thoughts in my head and I learned how to dig deeper and put them out on paper. I also learned how to use different words instead of the same words I use.

9.) What could I, Ms. A., have done differently to improve the course?
- Next semester, try to assign the book earlier in the semester so that people have time to read it around all of the other classes they have. It would help a lot.

10.) 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 believe I should get an A- at least, Since I did participate in a few of the free write discussions. I was here just about every single day, but only missed a few since I had some competitions. I think I deserve this grade also since I did every piece of work that you gave us, and I did good portions of whatever group work you gave us.
