PFWR 4660 reflection assignments, spring 2025
These reflections are the only assignments you should format as "English class assignments," following MLA guidelines for margins, spacing, name, date, headers, etc. as outlined on my "simple stuff" page.
R1: Initial reflection, due Tuesday, January 14th: Think back over the Professional Writing (PFWR) courses you have taken leading up to this 4660 class, the culmination of the Professional Writing program (the concentration in the English B.A. or the Minor complementing another Bachelor's degree). In separate paragraphs, reflect upon
a) three or four important facets or aspects of professional (workplace) writing you have mastered thus far in the program—or if "mastery" isn't entirely accurate, that you have come to consider essential to professional writing as distinctly different from typical academic writing you might encounter in an English or History course, for example;
b) aspects of professional or workplace writing that you have come to understand or appreciate but feel less confident about having "mastered." Put another way, what different facets of "professional writing" do you most want to improve upon in this crowning course of the program? You might review syllabi or textbooks or specific assignments from previous PFWR classes at MGA or elsewhere to jog your memory in pondering item a) or b) for this assignment.
Proof your reflection at least once before submitting it in the "Reflection 1" D2L dropbox.
