Description
Self-observation is an important first step in considering why you should and how you can change your learning and study behaviors. It is the first phase of the self-regulation model. You will write a reflective essay (3-page maximum, 12-point, double-spaced, with 1″ margins) analyzing your previous educational experiences and your expectations for success. Although this is a reflective assignment, it is expected that the tone of your paper is academic and scholarly instead of conversational and informal. Make sound judgments about what to include and exclude, word choice, grammar, and mechanics. The reader is looking for a concise but thoughtful product. Please use the primary questions below to guide your discussion. It is not necessary to respond to every sub-question. It is more important to tell the reader what you think he/she needs to know about you in order to understand you as a learner. Be sure that your writing does not just answer each question one by one, but rather ensure that your ideas flow and transition nicely.
