Final In-Class -- Strategy

The time is quickly approaching when you will all have to write a final in-class essay that goes directly into your EN 002 portfolio. Most students find in-class writing to be extremely challenging and stressful -- 85 minutes to plan, write, revise/proofread an entire essay that is then evaluated as part of your portfolio.

Think about what is most challenging for you, think about the pressure, think about the 85 minutes, and then write a plan. What is your strategy to handle this and produce your best possible writing under the circumstances. You can approach this as a process description.
