And, just like that, we’ve reached the end of the semester! Congratulations! You’re almost there!
So, as usual for my final Response of the semester, I want you to use this as an opportunity to reflect back on the semester a bit. It's hard (even for me) to remember back to when you were all here on day one, but here we are a good few weeks later, with a good few projects under our belts. But.... what does it all mean? That's a question for you to answer. For your final Response, I want you to think about (and then write about, naturally) what you learned about writing this semester using this course's unique spin on things, whatever that may be. Allow me to immediately follow that statement up by saying that there is nothing I want less than a contrived "conversion narrative"; I'm not the writing or genre missionary, bringing the all-loving wisdom and knowledge of writing to you; you're not the lowly, sad, unknowing student who could only see the light through my guidance. For this final Response, I'd like you to reflect on what we did, what you learned, and what you’ll take forward with you, but just know that you won’t get bonus points for buttering me up. You can, however, earn some bonus points through thoughtful reflection and careful consideration— and I will award up to 150/100 points if I see you really put good thought and effort into your response. That's right, I'm providing a chance for you to earn back (or add on) up to 50 points by illustrating a thorough reflection. If you've missed a response or two, or done them late, this is a last-minute chance to earn back some of those points. Take your time with this, and post before this response is due! It has been intensely rewarding to see your progress this semester, and hope you had as much fun as I did. DUE BY 11:59 AM, Monday May 1st

For this response, I wanted to ask you a few simple questions about how Wednesday's workshop went, what advice you got, and how you'll address it going forward. So, here's a few questions to get the ball rolling for this response:
I want this to serve as a place to think about the direction your project is headed in from here, and why that's the case, since we're rapidly coming up on the end. In the event that you missed workshops or did not receive feedback from your peers, please do respond by letting me know what your plans for the next few weeks are as the semester comes to a close. Due on Sunday, April 16th by the end of the day. You have a proposal due on Monday to discuss with your peers in class where I want you to lay out your ideas regarding Project 3. To give me a better idea where you stand in advance of that, and give you a chance to flesh your ideas out a bit, I'd like for you to do the following:
