Reflection Essay - Response

The student did not see improvement in their writing over the semester due to sticking to familiar habits. They felt challenged by the fast-paced summer class while working 30 hours per week but that it will help develop self-discipline. The student received a C in the class, missing their goal of an A or B, due to feeling burnt out from prior courses while maintaining employment. The assignments the student is most proud of are ones they received low grades on because they demonstrated effort, such as spending hours editing a paper before it was accidentally deleted, requiring last-minute rework. They are also proud of completing their first video presentation which required learning new software skills.

1.

For Starters, I can honestly say I don’t see an improvement in my writing through the
semester. I say this because I think for me, myself, I have a habit of sticking to things I
am used to. Unfortunately, this just so happens to be my way of writing. I can see
improvement in my own way of learning the different topics we have learned and
explored in this class. This summer class, like many others, are fast paced. I think it
challenged me in a good way but I also I feel that I could have put in more effort, but I
also pulled off working 30 hours plus at work while balancing my school life. I think this
will provide me with self-discipline.

2. I had two major goals for this summer class my first goal for this class was to come out
of it with an “A” or “B” like I have my past English classes here at UNF, this was the last
English requirement for my major. English has also been my strongest subject. My other
goal was to come out of it with more knowledge than I came in with. For my first goal I
didn’t reach it, I'm coming out of the class with a grade of “C” after our portfolio. I
believe I could've put more effort into achieving it but after finishing spring courses and
immediately starting this summer class after I came in feeling burnt out especially while
maintaining a job. But this is just teaching me how life is and builds me to be stronger
academically and wanting to achieve more. I don’t believe it was the course itself that
could use improvement. I think future students will be ok if they fully understand the
assignments and concepts in class.

3. The assignment I am most proud of is the assignments I've got the lowest grades on. The
assignments are the white paper and the video presentation I received a “F” on both. It's not
about the grades themselves. I'm proud of the effort I put into them, and I am most proud of
the white paper assignment. I was lost in the instructions and overthought it, that night it was
due I was up editing it to make it to be up to my standers in addition to making sure it met the
assignment requirements. As I was doing so, I hit backspace to delete an error I made in the
document, and it deleted my entire document. I tried to hit the undo button, nothing worked. I
cried called my mom hung up and realized I've got to suck it up with just an hour before the due
time of 11:59. I did what I could to add back what I could in such little time. So, this is why I am
most proud of myself for the white paper assignment I pulled myself together instead of just
giving up. Even though I didn’t get the best grade it was personal. I was very proud that I pulled
myself together. The other assignment I'm proud of myself for is the video presentation
assignment because I've never done anything like it before. I didn’t know how to operate
showing my screen and recording myself on my HP laptop before. I didn’t have any help at
home on how to operate it. I went through many countless YouTube videos on how to
complete it. After many hours I finally figured it out. Even though my grade wasn’t the best I
still experienced and learned how to do something I have never done before. So, I'm thankful
and grateful for having that experience. If I could, I would edit these two assignments with the
knowledge I have now after these experiences.
