ENG 3105: Writing for the Professions—Science & Engineering

Rev.12.15.20

Project 7: Personal Performance Evaluation

ENG Final Draft Submission Deadlines:

Final Draft Word Count and Setup Requirement:

• 250-300 words (plus an APA cover page)
• 12-point Times New Roman font

WHAT: Compose a brief memorandum or business letter that reflects on your evolution as a writer,
researcher, and thinker based on the work accomplished for the Feasibility Report and the PPT
Presentation in this course.

HOW: For this memo or letter, you will summarize, analyze, and evaluate your participation in
course objectives and assignments, along with your growth as a writer and researcher of business-
related projects. The final draft of your memo or letter should contain
• an introductory section that includes a statement of purpose for the Evaluation;
• at least one body paragraph that supports the statement of purpose with specific examples;
• a concluding section that connects back to the statement of purpose.

Use your syllabus and coursework to compose this formal, reflective document. Be specific and use
examples to illustrate what you have learned. Here are some questions and points to consider:

1) What changes have you noticed in your ability to create effective written and oral
presentations designed for a specified audience, subject, and purpose?
2) How have you used revision (working with early, advanced, and final drafts) for generating
ideas, drafting, and developing business-related writing and researching endeavors? What
benefit have you found in the revision process?

WHY: A college course should expand and enhance your academic skills, and a college writing course
should build upon the writing foundation you brought to the beginning of the class. As promised in
our course syllabus, this term you have completed assignments intended to extend skills in the
following areas:

• researching and writing assignments designed for a variety of audiences, subjects, and
purposes;
• rhetorical appeals and definitions used in business communication;
• personal and collaborative revision and editing proficiency in the service of substantive
revision.

It is important to reflect upon these learning objectives and your performance in the course now
that the major written assignments have been completed. A Personal Performance Evaluation
allows you to do just that.
