Examine what writing, research, or reading strategies are or aren\u2019t working for you and what you need to concentrate on for the remainder of the course. You should review the assignments you have completed so far this semester and look both backward and forward at your progress in the course and write a reflective self-assessment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">In your self-assessment memo, discuss your writing and research process; the feedback you\u2019ve received; your working habits, organizational skills, and communication habits; and the skills you\u2019ve developed in the first eight weeks of the semester. It\u2019s also important to refer back to the goal-setting memo you wrote at the beginning of the semester. What do you notice now that you are half-way through the semester? What progress have you made on your goals, and how have your goals changed? What are you hoping to learn and focus on during the second half of the semester? What questions do you have for your instructor or for other students?
