From Goal 1, I achieved all three or the main learning goals. The genre analysis was required through the entire project and understanding rhetorical knowledge.

From Goal 2, I mostly achieved the first point. I had to include evidence and quotes from various sources included within my research.

Goal 3 was entirely met in project two, through peer reviews and self revisions.

I struggled the most with the citations in this project. Which was part of Goal 4. I hope to continuously improve on this area of writing.

I achieved the first part of Goal 1 through the reflection prompt. I identified the purpose of my writing.

I also achieved some of Goal 3. I produced multiple revisions in addition to suggesting revisions to my peers.

I acted on any feedback that was provided and reflected on my own progress through the reflection.

Project three aims to have students reflect on what they have learned over the course of English 101A. Following from this, the student should employ most of the SLOs within the project.
