Instructions for self-assessment--due May 9

Your self-assessment is due at 4:30 on Monday, May 9, in my office.

It needs to have a cover page, be typed, double-spaced, with page numbers, and a staple in the upper left hand corner.

The paper should be 12-15 pages long.
Illustrations, graphs, graphics, images, charts, and comics are permitted. Take risks. 
The best papers will engage specific readings. 
You should assess your performance in the class. Here are the sorts of questions you might consider:
What did you put into the class? How did you contribute to others' learning and experience? In what ways did you take responsibility for your own learning? 
What did you get out of the course? Is there a difference between what you thought at the beginning of the term and what you think now?  Is there anything you would do differently?
With all these questions, be as specific as possible. You might choose to construct your answer in terms of the readings. You might choose to construct your answer in terms of themes. You might choose to construct your answer in terms of the areas of assessment (projects, participation, blogs, exams, papers). You might choose to construct your answer in terms of the types of activities engaged in (books, online readings, Facebook, blogs, lectures, debates, presentations, discussions, collaborative exams).
