An overview essay

write five (5) substantial paragraphs – include introduction, three (3) body paragraphs (a solid paragraph is at least 5 sentences), and a conclusion – about THREE specific skills you have learned in this course. By drawing evidence from your experience in the class, you will do a reflective self-assessment and write a well developed analysis. This entails reviewing all the work you have done this semester in order to explain the skills.

What did I learn? What skills have I learned (such as, writing, reading, critical thinking, researching, discussions, team work, etc.) in this class, and how will these skills play a part in my academic life?
How did I learn it? How did the activities–reading and critical thinking exercises, writing assignments, essays and research projects, group work, class discussions, peer reviews, and so on–contribute to the skills I have learned in this course? How can I show that I have learned these skills? What examples can illustrate that I have learned what I claim?
Why is it important? What role do I think these college composition skills will play in my future courses?
