The third project for English 101A encourages students to reflect on their learning throughout the course, integrating various Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). Key personal goals include openness to diverse writing topics, active engagement in the writing process, and improving proofreading skills.
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.
Project One
I acted on any feedback that was provided and reflected on my own progress through the reflection.
I also achieved some of Goal 3. I produced multiple revisions in addition to suggesting revisions to my peers.
I achieved the first part of Goal 1 through the reflection prompt. I identified the purpose of my writing.
Goal 4 - Conventions
Apply citation conventions systematically within written work
Follow the appropriate conventions of grammar, spelling, punctuation, this is done through practice of composing and revising written work
Goal 2 - Critical Thinking and Composing
Support ideas or decisions with compelling evidence from multiple sources
Incorperate evidence, such as through summaries, paraphrases, quotations, and visuals
Project Two
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.
Goal 3 was entirely met in project two, through peer reviews and self revisions.
From Goal 2, I mostly achieved the first point. I had to include evidence and quotes from various sources included within my research.
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.
