Instructions
Tell the story of a personal learning experience that was in some way memorable for you. It could be an experience that was surprisingly hard, or surprisingly easy. It could be something you conquered, or something you gave up on. What made the learning experience memorable?

Grading
You will be graded on these criteria:

For each of these criteria, you will receive either a plus, check, or minus.

Roughly speaking, each plus moves you up one step from the starting grade of half way between an A- and a B+, and each minus moves you down. All assignments in this class will be graded with this method.

If English is not your first language, you may request an exemption from being graded on your writing. Note this on your paper when you hand it in. This means that you cannot be penalized for bad writing but also will not get extra credit for good writing.

The suggested length is approximate. Don't worry if it ends up a bit short or long, and please don't play with formatting to try to make it look longer or shorter. Just please don't make your paper more than double the suggested length.

Late policy is noted on the syllabus.
