Your Concluding Essay

You complete this class by writing a self-evaluative essay.

You have been encouraged to live “an examined life.” It is in this spirit that I am asking you to use this last assignment as a way to evaluate yourself not just academically, but philosophically.

You do not need to use these prompts, but they may help you think about your semester:

• On a scale of 1—10, how deeply did you engage yourself?
• Can you give an example or two of how you demonstrated that you are a serious student?
• Did you study everything required or did you rush and skim?
• Did you find yourself thinking about class content when you did not have to, such as finding yourself discussing course content with friends or family?
• Did you seek clarification about class material that confused you?
• Have your studies of “the True, the Good, and the Beautiful” contributed to how you understand the world and your place in it?
• Has your academic experience enriched your life?

Scoring

• Your final assessment must be at least 800 words to receive credit and qualify for a C, 900 words to qualify for a B, and more than 1000 words to qualify for an A.
• If your essay requires proofreading it cannot earn an A.
• A final assessment that is late is not accepted.

Your score is based on two rubrics:

• The seriousness of your content and the level of your engagement. Did you take the time to write a thoughtful assessment?
• Applying the academic writing skills discussed above.
