In this essay, reflect also on at least two specific assignments: the one of which you are the most proud and the one that, if you had more time, you would spend more time on. As you refer to the assignments, refer to them by name (e.g., the grammar diagnostic quiz, the narrative writing assignment, etc.).
Overall, your brief essay should assert how well prepared you feel for the next writing class at HCC; this assertion will be based on your brief reflection and analysis of work you have done in the class including two specific assignments. In addition to the two specific assignments, you may refer to additional lessons and/or items you have learned in this course. Grading:
