How I Earned an A in This Course

Here at the start of the semester, I'd like you to imagine that you have actually finished the course and earned an "A." You know enough about this course to imagine yourself at the end of the course, knowing what you needed to do to earn your A. Think carefully about how you did it. I'm sure it wasn't easy. It must have required a certain level of diligence and sacrifice. You might have even had to outstretch what you thought you could do. How did you do it? Try to explain how you exceeded expectations and earned the A.

For full credit on this reflection, follow these steps and work for the amount of time in parentheses:

1. In your shared folder in Google Drive, create a document and name it "Lastname.Firstname.Earning.the.A.F19" (2 mins)
2. Brainstorm in your Google Document about the actions you took to earn an A in this course (20 mins)
3. Brainstorm in your Google Document about the details you plan to include in your paragraph (10 mins)
4. Write a paragraph in your own voice to explain your point of view (30 mins)
5. Proofread your work carefully after writing (10 mins)
6. Give your piece an intelligent, thoughtful, two-part title that UNIQUELY captures your idea (5 mins)

Your "revision history" in Google Drive should show that you typed out your response and took ample time to go back and revise. Brainstorm, write, and revise in the Google document so that I can see your progress. Do NOT type your response in some other place or copy and paste into your Google document. Always do all of your typing in the Google document itself.

Your finished assignment (i.e., one or two paragraphs) should total at least 200 words but no more than 300 words. Make sure the paragraphs are the same length as each other if you have more than one.
