RE: Week 4 Discussion(Future Work)

You did a great job reflecting on your goals, strengths, and areas in which you’d like to grow.

You did not describe your accomplishments. To do well here, you need to talk about your accomplishments and also write about them in story form using the elements of challenge, action, result, and details. This will be a helpful strategy to get started with resume writing.

You did not complete this section. Your goal here was to write about your accomplishments and adapt them to a resume format. Your stories should provide a clear and concise summary of each achievement.

Unfortunately, you did not complete this section of the assignment. The goal here was to thoughtfully reflect on the assignment experience and to discuss concrete practices for the future.

In this section, I asked you to make concise connections between the skills and their role in achieving each accomplishment. Unfortunately, you did not complete this section.

This is assignment feedback that did not get the appropriate credit. Therefore this is a re-due assignment with the same instructions.

Note about this assignment: To ensure students are properly placed into the English courses that will best set them up for successful college writing, it is customary for students to have their writing skills assessed. For students without transfer credit for college-level English courses, the writing you provide in Assignment 2 will be assessed to determine whether you should be placed into ENG090 or into ENG116. This review of your writing will not affect your grade on the assignment or the overall course; your instructor will grade Assignment 2 based on the rubric for the course, which is separate from the writing review.

What to submit/deliverables: Word document that contains Parts 13 of the Assignment 2 Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment?
