1. Which assignment do you feel was most successful and why?
The assignment I believe was the most successful and the most enjoyable honestly was the poetry assignment. I enjoyed the creativity of the assignment as well as the poetry that was presented to the class in preparation. I also really enjoyed learning about Maya Angelou and her contributions to the arts.
2. On what work do you feel you could have done better and how?
I believe I could have done better on essay 1. I do not believe I was critical enough. However, I enjoyed being “the Professor” for this assignment. Comparing the essay to the criteria also taught me to be more vigilant in following instructions.
3. If there was one thing you learned this semester, what was it?
This semester I learned that I need to provide more detail in my writing. I am a very straight forward, straight to the point person and I learned that I write the same way. I enjoyed reading stories that allowed me to think outside of the box.

“Hi Khrystal,
I really enjoyed reading your reflections on the course! It’s great to hear how much you appreciated the poetry assignment and Maya Angelou’s work—her contributions are truly inspiring. I can relate to your thoughts on Essay 1; sometimes being critical can be challenging, but it sounds like you’ve learned a lot from the experience. Your insight about adding more detail to your writing is something I also find valuable. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Khrystal, yes, Essay 1 was tricky because there were so many layers to it. I also like your reflection on how your writing style should echo your style as a human being! So many students try to create a writing “voice” that is not their own but what they think sounds like a smarter cousin.
