Answer the following prompts after reviewing Lesson 2.1 “What Is College-Level Writing?” (video) and all items in Lesson 2.3 “SMART Goals Video and Handouts”.
Describe what you consider to be your greatest strengths in the writing process. As appropriate, you might connect your strengths to one or more of the “choices” of successful students.
The SMART Goals video lesson emphasizes the importance of specificity in setting your goals. Share an academic goal for this semester that meets the criteria of being specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time bound. How do you plan to achieve this goal? The description of your goal must be detailed and provide verification that it meets all five criteria.
The SMART Goals video suggests that unattained goals are opportunities for reassessment. Write about an experience where you did not reach a goal initially but used it as an opportunity for reflection and adjustment? What did you learn from that experience? OR Write about how you might use a previously unattained goal as an opportunity to achieve something this semester.
Consider the writing examples presented in the “What Is College-Level Writing?” video, spanning from a first-grade student to a college student. Reflect on the evolution of complexity, clarity, and audience consideration in college-level writing. Share insights from your own writing experiences and pinpoint specific aspects that differentiate college-level writing, especially in terms of articulating clear arguments and recognizing the audience. Alternatively, discuss any areas for improvement that the video emphasized for you.
