Paragraph 1:  A brief introduction and summary of your journey the past semester.  Who were you when you started?  What did you intend to accomplish?  Did you achieve your goals?

Paragraph 2:  What have you learned about yourself as a person?  For example: What kind of student are you?  What values are demonstrated by your choices and your behavior? How do you handle stress?  How do you work with others?  Have you discovered anything about yourself that surprised you?

Paragraph 3:  What have you learned about how you learn? For example: What student skills have you acquired?  What tools have helped you the most?  How will you use what you have learned in future semesters to be successful?

Paragraph 4:  Summarize your experience in this course.  Where are you heading next?

This paper should be typed, double spaced with indented paragraphs. Label your paper with your name, date and title. You should support what you say with specific examples.  While this is not an English class, we are looking for evidence of thought, clarity of ideas and Standard English grammar and spelling.  We hope this helps you to identify all of the things that you have learned and all of the ways that you have grown.
