Reflection on Writing as Inquiry

Jim reflects on his experience so far in UWRT 1102. He found the Inquire assignment from Module 1 challenging because he struggled to come up with good questions. By jotting down random notes, he was able to formulate questions and express his thoughts in more detail. However, he still felt his writing was disorganized. He also kept returning to ideas around discrimination and protests in American culture. For the flexible outline in Module 2, he tried to just write and discover without a plan, but was never satisfied with the results. He is uncomfortable with writing and gets anxious about the quality of his work, though he is becoming more willing to write and inquire.

Reflection
So far this week has seemed like an in depth recap of UWRT 1101. My
previous teacher was also very focused on the concept of writing as inquiry. I
believe the assignment that forced the most amount of thought for me was
the Inquire portion of Module One. It opened me up to a plethora of
questions, but I found myself not knowing how to ask them. It was almost as
if I needed to do the assignment backwards to complete it. I started to jot
down random notes from the things floating around in my head, and from the
notes I was able to formulate questions; from the questions I was able to
express my thoughts in greater detail. Even then I feel as if my writing
wasnt up to par. It seems more like disheveled and unorganized thoughts.
For some reason I continually went back to the ideas of discrimination, and
protests. Both related to American values. I guess they seemed so prominent
in todays culture I couldnt shake the thought of them.

The same was true for my flexible outline in Module Two. I am trying to
allow myself to just write and discover as I go, but I am never really pleased
with the outcome. Maybe that is because I am incredibly uncomfortable.
After all, I have never considered myself to be much of a writer in the first
place. The thought of writing produces a certain amount of anxiety in me
and I am not sure why. I am becoming more wiling to write and inquire but I
am very unsure of the quality of my product.
