Writing Self-Assessment
The goal of this exercise is to improve your use of the writing process by developing your skills as a thoughtful reader of your own writing and identifying areas on which to focus attention as you write and revise.
These questions are designed to make you reflect on your current process, to see where improvements can be made. We will use this form as a benchmark throughout the semester, so you will see similar questions again.
