The final project is a self-reflective essay or creative work that integrates lessons from 'Success Comes From You' and personal experiences from the first quarter at UCR. It involves critical self-evaluation of personal growth, writing process, and intellectual development through a reflective journal and a portfolio reflection.
The final project for your course at UCR requires you to create an essay, short stories, or other creative projects that incorporate your understanding of the content from Success Comes From You book and reflect on your first-quarter experience. It aims to synthesize the knowledge from various modules, especially from Module 5, and reflect upon your engagement within the course, including rhetorical analysis and portfolio development. The approach is one of self-evaluation and personal growth as a communicator and learner.
As part of the process, you will consider your successes, mishaps, and preparation for the winter quarter. Reflection on your goals, steps to achieve them, and emotional responses during the quarter is advised. Additionally, you should assess the work you have submitted, look for improvement, and analyze your development as a writer.
Include experiences from the course and demonstrate how they have contributed to your intellectual growth, integrating freewriting techniques to facilitate your reflective journey. Conclude with a self-evaluation and reflection that critically examines your entire semester and the writing process, identifying strengths and weaknesses to foster further development.
Reflective journal entries and a portfolio reflection are integral to this process, showcasing the continual learning and evolution of your writing abilities throughout the course.
