I asked them to give themselves advice on how to succeed in this course . Things they know now which they wish they had known then . And they gave me some pretty awesome reflective letters , full of advice useful to my classes this year . Instead of me telling them that doing their homework nightly is important , or that cramming at the last minute does n't work , they now have it from the horses mouths .

Question: What may have been their reason for writing reflective letters ?
Answer: Many of them wanted to do it after they failed to do what was assigned .I assigned them to do it .None of the above choices .They wanted to give each other advice on how to succeed in the course .
