FYS 100.139: Writing Assignment 1: Journal
This assignment is ongoing throughout the semester.
Learning goals
- Use written language to describe your experience at York College and in this course
- Reflect on the work you are doing, what you are learning, and how you are meeting the academic challenges you face
What to do
Each week, you should be writing 2 or 3 entries in the journal you created in Writing Assignment 0. Make sure each entry is labeled with a date. Each entry should consist of 1-3 paragraphs describing some combination of:
- What you are working on in this course (projects, assignments, etc.)
- Your experiences as a college student
- Challenges you have encountered, and how you have responded to them
- Anything else you think is interesting
Grading
Each Monday, I will read your journal entries for the previous week, and mark your work as ✓ (satisfactorily completed) or ✗ (incomplete or unsatisfactory). I may also add some comments and/or suggestions.
