Overview
Reflection papers are central to our ungrading model. This is when you connect your writing to your growth, document how you have engaged with feedback, and prepare for the next steps. These reflections are not simply journals - they are meant to sharpen your awareness of your movement through this course, your evolving voice as a writer, and your ability to use feedback critically.
What are the Three most Critical revisions you need to make for your Final Paper? Why those?
How are you drawing from peer feedback, instructor feedback, and AI feedback, as you plan these revisions? Which source has been most valuable? Why? Least? Why?
What has surprised you about your own writing and researching process this semester?
How do you plan to strengthen connection between your sections (Lit Review, Innovations & Solutions/Interventions, Policy Brief) so the Final Paper feels lie a cohesive story?
Looking back across the semester, what's the single most important skill or habit you've gained as a writer, thinker, and scholar? How might this carry forward with you beyond this course?
Anything else to add? Everything is fair game. Tell me how you feel - what has been good, bad, moderate, difficult, easy, etc.? You may, as always, talk openly here. (optional)
