Responses to items one and two belong on separate posts, each earmarked for responses to a single item:

1. Reflection Item one (1): Reflecting Pool One (2008.07.18)
   
2. Reflection Item two (2): Reflecting Pool Two (2008.07.18)

Remember that complete explanations are better than short ones. The more details, examples, and reasons that you write out completely, organize logically, and express clearly, the better.

The wording for this post comes, in part, from a previous reflection stimulus (Reflections on Blog Portfolio Development, The Writing Studio Blog, 2008.01.29). You should not respond on that post.

WSB 1-03 ('08): Early Exam Only for Early Departees

In this Writing Studio Bulletin (WSB 1-03, 2008), I'm sharing a response to a clarification question that a student sent via gmail earlier today. She asked about the early exam tomorrow, and was lucky to catch me online. Here is a snippet from my response:

Thank you for writing, and asking about the early exam. The answer to your question is no. Students who are not leaving early, on university-sanctioned exchange programs [starting] before the regularly scheduled exam, cannot sit the early exam tomorrow (July 18, 2008). See you on July 23rd.
