The Reflective Essay is mean to have you look back on your writing ability. You shouldn't be cheerleading for yourself, but instead give an honest assessment on how you've improved and what weaknesses you still have that you want to work on in WRIT 112. You have two options to do this.

Option 1: Craft a 1-2 page essay discussing your ability to introduce and develop a topic, develop an argument, respond to counterarguments, and use proper APA documentation. You could devote a full paragraph to each one of these topics, or just focus on 3, 2, or even just one of these. The fewer the sections the more in depth your Reflective Essay will be on that topic.

Option 2: Select one of the papers you've written for your class. Then, go through the paper and add footnote commentary by explaining what you've done and why you've done it. The total amount of footnotes should be about ½ a page. Try to relate your footnote commentary to developing and introducing a topic, developing an argument, responding to counterarguments, and using proper APA documentation.
