Student Learning Outcomes
• Demonstrate the ability to approach writing as a recursive process that requires substantial revision of drafts for content, organization, and clarity (global revision), as well as editing and proofreading (local revision).
• Be able to integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources.
• Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking.
• Be able to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the writing process and local revision later in the process.
• Document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA).
• Control sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling).
I think that a learning outcome I have improved on has been integrating my quotes and sources, because I have been focusing more on trying to connect them throughout my essays rather than just throwing them in there. I’ve done this by thinking more about what quotes I pick and then also using the templates in the book. I think one I could work on is the sentence level errors, grammar and typing are not my best qualities. Another one I could work on is the techniques of active reading, I’m not too sure what it fully means but I’m pretty sure my techniques are not the best.
