  3. Writing should use formal English, correct spelling, and punctuation.
  4. Topics may include any information covered in class or from the readings.
  5. Consider the followings when writing your reflection:
    1. Do you think the English class this semester is helpful to you?
    2. What have we studied/learned so far that interests you?
    3. What new things have you learned?
    4. How has your learning affected the preconceptions or misconceptions you brought with you into this class?
