Essay Writing: Student Self-Rating and Reflections #718

This presentation compares the self-assessments and reflections of the students in two classes—high-intermediate and low-intermediate—in a university essay-writing course in the academic year 2019. The students’ self-rating in both classes generally improved as the term proceeded, yet it was lower in citing outside sources. The students in the low-intermediate class rated themselves lower initially in writing with coherence and effective topic sentences and in writing opinion essays. Students’ reflection writing endorsed their self-assessments.
