Please answer all of the questions and email them to me. I use this feedback to help me review and revise the course. Please be honest in all of your answers. Your answers will not impact your grade in any way. The answers you write are important, but clearly explaining why you feel the way you do is critical, so please explain yourself carefully.

 
 

1. What have you learned this semester about yourself as a student and a writer? What will your next step be as you continue developing your student and writing skills? Do you feel prepared to make that next step?

2. You were asked to purchase one text book this semester: The Writing Process by John Lannon.  How did you feel about the text book? Did you enjoy it? Learn something from it? Find it useful? Please be specific about what you did or did not like about the book. If you did not buy book, or if you did not read the book, please let me know this as well. If you didn’t buy or read it—why didn’t you?

3. You did three research based essays (NCLB, Mendez v. Westminster, and McCain v. Obama) Which essay did you find the most helpful to you as you worked on developing your writing and student skills? Why? Which essay did you find least useful? Why? (Don’t confuse useful with difficult. Those are two different things.)

4. Did you use the class web site? Did you investigate the class resources? Why / Why not? Is there something that you did not find on the web site that you would like to see me develop for future classes?

5. Overall, what did you like best about the class?

6. If there was one thing you could change about the class, what would it be? (Don’t just say “less work”—that probably isn’t going to happen)

7. Is there anything else you would like to say? I would love to hear your comments!

It has been a pleasure working with each of you this summer. I hope that you will not be strangers. I would love to hear how you are doing in the future. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
