Paper #4 Assignment
Write a paper in which you analyze the strengths and weaknesses in your own writing skills and/or writing process as demonstrated within this course. Wherever possible, it’s best to frame this in terms of the progress or growth you’ve shown during our course.
You are encouraged to point to specific elements within the papers that you’ve written. You may quote short sections (such as a thesis statement) or merely point to the page or paragraph in which they occur (since your professor can easily access the papers you’ve previously written). Don’t engage in lengthy quotes from your previous papers, as that would detract from the analysis necessary within this paper.
For this assignement, you should seek to demonstrate all of the skills that you’ve learned within this course. As part of this, proper academic tone should be demonstrated. Please note, however, that since this assignment asks you to discuss your own progress and skills, the use of 1st person (“I”) is appropriate.
