Seminar in Thinking and Writing (LA101)

This participation portfolio is a single file, uploaded to Moodle. It consists of two parts:

Part 1

A brief paragraph (about 200 words) that reflects on how the contents of this portfolio demonstrates what you have learned in the past few weeks. Be selective. I am not asking for a stand-alone sentence on each item; instead, I am looking for evidence you can link these small assignments to the course goals. Include brief direct quotations from 2-4 items, in order to support the main point you want to make.

I’m asking you to place your reflection at the beginning of your file, but you should write it last, after you have assembled Part II.

Part II

Review the following assignments, and write a brief statement (a sentence or two is fine) reflecting on how each individual activity demonstrates what you have learned so far.

(I am not looking for a single “correct” answer; rather, I am looking for evidence that you can engage, individually and specifically, with each item on the list. Be creative, personal, and precise. If you did not complete the item, briefly describe your plan for how you can stay on track in STW.)
