For this last short assignment, you should spend some time thinking about and discussing how you feel you have progressed as a critical reader, researcher, and writer over the semester. In a couple of paragraphs, consider the importance of reflection using the assigned readings for this week. Think back to where you were with your own reading and writing skills when you first entered the course, where you see yourself as a writer today, and areas you’d like to focus on for the future.
Here are some questions that might help you to think about yourself as a reader and writer today, but also remember to make personal connections to the Craft.
How did the readings discuss with your peers help you to think about writing about nursing issues today?
Were there any reading and writing skills that you feel you’ve improved on with all of the work you’ve done this semester?
How have you progressed in your knowledge about APA and the citing of sources?
What did you learn about your chosen research topic that you worked on throughout the semester, and how do you think this knowledge will help you as a nurse, either with your education or at your place of work?
How do you feel about your ability to use technology, whether it is the Canvas system, searching databases, or any other areas you’d like to share?
