Writing 102
Critical Thinking Intake Assessment
One of our first assignments for writing 102 was to take a short, anonymous, pre-course survey. This survey asked various questions that ranged from being able to change one’s opinion on a topic to how to decide which information is important to add in one’s works of writing. These questions opened up my eyes to the different aspects of writing and made me think about some things. One question that stood out to me the most was “I am willing to change my stance on an issue provided credible research.” This question stood out to me because oftentimes I will be so confident in my opinion, no facts or information will make me change my stance. But, I’ve learned that it is important to keep an open mind and listen to the opinions of others because it might change your own. These questions helped me realize how important it is to think about things when writing and not just write whatever is on your mind.
