30. Pace University: Single Course Writing Portfolio Faculty Reflection “ I think having students develop the ‘habit’ of reflecting on their writing and reading throughout the semester enables them to practices reflective thinking, and deepen their learning.” “ Certainly, reading these reflections enables me to appreciate students’ concerns and challenges, and often the authentic voice that comes through in the blogs is quite strong.”
31. Pace University: Single Course Writing Portfolio what makes effective practice?

For example, how much does becoming more a reflective learner influence students to revise more carefully?

39. Response & Analysis of a Reflective Practice at Tunxis Trent Batson Connect to Learning Project
49. Every single reflection forced you to question your thoughts and actions, and to find meaning to even to the most seemingly insignificant things. You gained knowledge about yourself , like your strengths, which you were previously clueless about. You have already started to learn and come up with ideas on your own . There were many great experiences you acquired, like community service projects and bonding with other SERVE members… but when you look back you will realize that the highlights during your time in this program were all those small steps you took in an effort to develop a well-rounded person . Next semester you will continue to learn… be sure to apply everything you have learned … to your leadership involvement in the Spring.
