Write an essay detailing your experience as a student in English 155. For this assignment you should use your reflective journal entries and your tutor’s feedback to describe where you have come from and where you are now as a writer, the obstacles you have overcome and the challenges that remain, and any insights you may have achieved from your work in this course. Your essay may also include a critical assessment of the course itself or the instructors and recommendations for changes and improvement, but such an assessment should be included in the context of your narrative and not serve as a substitute for a reflective discussion of your experience.
