WEEK 4 POLL RESULTS
The topic for the last full week of March was “The Perfect Writing Plan." The previous weeks covered the idea of being a perfect student, writing the perfect assignment, and having the perfect study habit is a faulty one in that perfectionism is a myth when it comes to learning and growing as a student. In the same vein, there is no such thing as a perfect writing plan. A strong writing plan comes from having a writing process that works for you.
See below for more information on the “perfect" writing plan and think about how having a
writing process
would better fit your needs as a student!

perfect writing plan
look like?

no hiccups
.
The perfect writing plan
doesn't change
.
The perfect writing plan means
not having to go back to the assignment instructions
.
The perfect writing plan
can be a plan that worked for someone else and will work for me
.

that following all the steps to the plan perfectly will give a perfect assignment
