Quality assessment
Here I conclude the first week's information by providing a final thought for the course, focusing on quality assessment in the context of academic writing, particularly emphasising the process over the product.
Engagement and Strategies
Engagement Strategies: How do you plan to engage deeply with your writing topic? List specific actions you will take to immerse yourself in the subject matter.
Active Learning Techniques: What active learning strategies will you employ to enhance your understanding and retention of the material? (e.g., summarising key points, discussing with peers)
Self-Monitoring and Adaptation
Progress Monitoring: How will you track your progress in achieving your writing goals? Consider setting milestones and regular review sessions.
Adaptation Strategies: If you encounter obstacles or find that your strategies are not effective, how will you adapt your approach?
Reflection on Writing and Learning Process
Reflective Journaling: After each writing session, reflect on what you learned, difficulties encountered, and how the session contributed to your overall goals.
Feedback Reflection: How do you plan to use feedback from peers and advisors to improve your writing? List steps for incorporating feedback effectively.
Reader's Perspective and Impact
Anticipating Reader Response: Who is your intended audience, and how do you expect them to react to your writing? How can you write to change or challenge their perspectives?
Value Proposition: What value does your writing bring to the reader? Reflect on the unique contribution your work makes to the field.
Collaboration and Community Engagement
Collaborative Learning: How will you engage with your writing group or academic community to enhance your learning and writing quality?
Peer Feedback Sessions: Plan regular sessions to exchange drafts with peers for constructive criticism. What specific aspects of your writing would you like feedback on?
Final Reflection
Learning Outcomes: At the end of your writing project, reflect on the learning outcomes. Did you achieve your initial goals? What skills or knowledge did you gain through the process?
Future Applications: How can the insights and skills gained from this project be applied to future writing projects or your academic career in general?
