Final Reflection
Assignment Description:
For your final assignment of the semester, I’d like you to reflect on the experience of taking this
course: the content, the assignments, the readings, the in-class activities—everything. This is
still open-ended, provided that you are being self-reflective and analytically critical about the
process of taking this course. What aspects of the course did you like best? Least? Why? What
course goals and objectives were best achieved for you? Least? Why? What would you like to
have done differently? Why? How could I improve this class for future semesters? What
activities should I keep, and what ones should I consider altering or dropping? What assignment
did you learn the most from/like the best? The least? Why? Any other aspect of the course is
open for you to reflect on as well—I’ve merely tried to get you started with these questions.
In addition to reflecting on your own performance in the course, you are encouraged to reflect on
the instruction of the course as well. Please know that any negative critique of the course’s
instruction, or the course itself, will not be taken personally and absolutely will not affect your
grade for the course. I’m always looking to improve as an instructor, so it’s helpful for me to
hear your honest feedback.
