3. Extra Work: Reflective Essay3

If you want to earn extra credit for this course, you might write the third reflective essay. I expect you to write a well-organized and decent work of reflection on your experience of academic writing. It should be about 400 words, Time New Roman, 12 pt fonts, double spaced and 1 inch margin for all sides. Here are some specific questions that you might answer.

• What might be the most important in writing an academic paper? Why?
• What did you learn in this course? What did you like the most? Why?  
• What difficulties that you had faced in this course? You might write your specific experiences if you want. How do you resolve the problems? Do you think that going through those difficulties/problems helps improve your writing ability? Why or why not?
• How do you feel about finishing up this course? Do you feel more comfortable and confident about academic writings or do you still worry about them? Why?
