reflective memo

Reflective memos should be written according to standard memo format (with headings dividing the different content areas—see the Purdue OWL memo page for more information on this). Think of the reflective memo as a “director’s commentary” to your finished project: use it to explain your goals and choices, as well as the work that went into creating the finished piece. Round out the piece with a self-evaluation; beyond being a key skill for rhetoric and design, it is also a skill that most employees are expected to have in their professional toolkit. The reflective memo for each of your projects should be at least 1000 words, and should describe… 1. Your goals for the unit: What were you hoping to accomplish with this project? What were the criteria for success that you determined? 2. Your writing process: How did you go about completing the assignment objectives? how did you go about researching, writing, and designing? 3. The choices that you made: These can be rhetorical, methodological, technological, visual, etc. All of the deliberate decisions that you made about what information to include and how to present it. 4. An evaluation of your own performance: How do you think you did in this unit? What did you learn? What do you still need to work on?
