Instructions
In the first three weeks of class, we have learned the eight parts of speech, their characteristics and functions, and how to recognize them and to apply them.
Now, please write a paper (500 words = two pages, double-spaced) answering these questions:
1. What motivated you to take this course, and how do you feel about that choice now?
2. Of the study completed thus far (through Week 3), how much of the material was new to you? Of the material that was not new to you, to what degree were you familiar with it?
3. By what method have you ensured correct grammar in writing papers, for example, those required in courses you have taken?
4. How do you expect (or hope for) improved writing now and going forward?
