Assignment 3 Academic Planning and Reflexive Activity

Q The final project is comprised of two parts: The first part of the Final Project is a plan (using the template provided) outlining your academic path in three categories: • courses already completed • courses planned • semester in which each of these courses has been taken or will be taken This plan will depict the schedule by which you will complete required courses and choose electives for a degree in the English program. If you are not an English major, you will prepare a list of courses taken and planned for your major in a document or spreadsheet (not using the template provided). If you completed PACE 111 here at UMGC, then you have done a similar exercise in planning. However, it is always useful to revisit your plan and treat it as a "living" document. The second part of the Final Project is a formal expository essay (3-4 pages, 750-1000 words) addressing the following topics: • What you have learned from ENGL 281 that will help you advance academically and professionally • Why do you think this course is required for the ENGL program (Or, why did you opt to take it if you are not pursuing an ENGL major or minor) • Why did you choose/take the electives that you did • What your future goals are and how you might apply the skills you are learning in ENGL courses towards achieving those goals This assignment also allows you not only to exhibit correct grammar in your writing but also to bring in elements of style (as discussed in Week 8). A conscious writer works at multiple levels when constructing a piece of writing: moving from sentence to sentence to keep the reader engaged with the entirety of the writing. Format the paper in the MLA. If you use outside resources, they should be documented both within the paper and on a Works Cited page. For assistance with MLA formatting, see https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html This assignment is due by the last academic day of the eighth week of class by 11:30 PM ET.

I have always been an English enthusiast and learning more about the language have been an ennobling experience for me in this class. At the end of the course I already feel so excited to learn new things about the English language which have definitely enriched my knowledge about the language itself. In the first three weeks of the class I have learnt about the different parts of speech and their usage as well as importance in the English language and in the second lap I learnt about the structure of sentences and that was of immense help. It has made all the difference about my perspectives of the same.
