How can you relate them to what you have learned in the readings and discussions? Have they changed? Have they evolved? Have you begun to flesh them out or make sense of them in new ways?

Assignment Question

It is very confusing to describe what this professor wants. Since the first draft of the Reflective Essay, you have experimented twice with alternative time uses. Whether or not you think these experiments “succeeded” or “failed” is not as important for this paper as what you have learned from them overall. With these experiments under your belt, you are once again in a position to go back and consider the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the course. Moreover, you have done further reading and discussion of such issues as gender and historical contexts. Now it is also time for you to go back and think about your initial goals in light of all the work you have done so far and to write the first draft of your Major Reflective Essay.

In this essay you will: Address the goals you set out for yourself at the beginning: How can you relate them to what you have learned in the readings and discussions? Have they changed? Have they evolved? Have you begun to flesh them out or make sense of them in new ways? Discuss what you have learned about yourself in terms of time and how you experience it: For example, you might realize you live more on “clock time” or “event time.” Or, you might not have realized how much time you actually spend on a particular activity that you don’t really consider to be a priority. In your other assignments so far, you may have already begun discussing some of these realizations and this learning. This part of the essay will allow you to pull together and synthesize those pieces. What did you learn in this course overall? Hint: You might want to think about this by analyzing how you can bring together (1) and (2). Look ahead: Having thought about all of these things, what do you want to know? What do you want to learn next? Or what should your next steps be for continuing to learn about and experiment with your own time use?
