Instructor's Notes
To add a submission dropbox for students' reflection prompts, go to "Add to this Unit" > "Create new . . ." > "Dropbox."
After completing one of the writing assignments presented in this chapter or supplied by your instructor, turn back to the After Writing questions in Chapter 3 and respond to as many of them as you can. While addressing these questions, it might be helpful to revisit your response to the Learning by Doing activity Reflecting on Oral Presentations, if you completed it.
Next, reflect in writing about how you might apply the insights that you drew from this assignment to another situation—in or outside of college—in which you have to write or present under pressure. If no specific situations come to mind, imagine that
for a nursing course, you need to prepare for a closed-book essay exam on best practices for treating diabetic patients.
you are an employee of a food-service company, and you need to give a presentation to a business that is considering your products and services for its cafeteria. You want to make the case that your offerings are superior to those of your competitors in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness.
