The first
notable thing we did in class was looking at previous students’ reflection
essays. I thought it gave me a good range of how informal I could be. Zack made
the point to just have examples that could back up my claims so that’s what I’m
gonna focus on. It’s nice to know though that we could use our voice in our
writing. Since it is a personal reflection essay, I think it would be difficult
to stop myself from talking like myself while writing about myself.
The survey
we did in class was another thing that required my voice. By “voice” I mean my
thoughts and opinions. The survey was basically asking us how we felt about the
class and how we would improve it. The diversity and specificity of the
questions showed how much Zack really cares about what his students thought of
the class and I’m glad I could provide my thoughts about it. Personally, I like
it when someone cares a lot about something and I’m glad I was able to provide
some kind of feedback. Typing down my opinions also taught me what I liked
about the class. I mean I already know I liked it but I wasn’t sure why, so it’s
nice that
I learned something about myself.
The Google Doc’athon was also helpful in my path
towards to self-growth. Giving other people feedback got me thinking about
everything we learned in class and how we could apply that to our writing. This
was definitely a practice for our own paper revisions. In the process of giving
some feedback to my fellow students, I was able to see potential changes to my
own paper. Since the other students had similar problems to myself, it was easy
to get some inspiration.
