Exercise 3: Final Reflection

To close our course, this exercise provides the chance to both look back on what you have done and what you will take into future reading, learning, and writing.

The goal is to consider once more–and therefore better understand–the semester’s work on rhetoric, information, university-level research, and experiments in writing.

In this exercise, explain what course concepts you found the most useful and productive for your work this semester, what you imagine will be helpful in your education to come, and why.

Based on your experiences, insights, and self-understanding, you are writing from an “I” or subjective position. But since it is also about ideas, practices, and goals that are shared amongst your classmates, writers, critical readers, university-level thinkers, your writing should use/reference the vocabulary of rhetoric, research, etc. that is shared between you and such an audience. The writing should be formal, thoughtful, critical, and reflective.

You might thus consider what you learned about the various elements of the rhetorical situation, differences in genre, the dynamics of the information cycle, the way information circulates through various modalities, the research potential of citation chasing, etc. Think of those you already find yourself using to develop insights in different contexts beyond this class or anticipate using in the future.

Along the way, illustrate and support assertions with references to specific readings, research steps, moments of illumination, your writing process and products, etc.
