There are many things that we have done in this class that has helped me become a better writer. From this course, there were different outcomes while taking the class, but specifically, 3 of them are meaningful to me based on the essays that I wrote. One of the outcomes is the “Develop strategies for reading, drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing.” This is particular is one of the longest and id say most important outcomes. I really liked this outcome because we had to mostly work as a group and I liked the different ideas and strategies we would come up with. The other important and meaningful outcome is the “Locate research sources (including academic journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles) in the library’s databases or archives and on the Internet and evaluate them for credibility, accuracy, timeliness, and bias.” This was pretty “fun” and challenging because I had to do a lot of research based on the topic that I chose, which is also why I think this is a good outcome because it is less focused on my opinion and much more on the research done. And last but definitely not least meaningful outcome is the “Compose texts that integrate your stance with appropriate sources using strategies such as summary, critical analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and argumentation.:” This is meaningful to me because I have used it on both of my essays, where I had to argue my point by performing research on the topic. These outcomes are found in both of the essays (Sourced-Based and Research). In both of the essays, we had to develop strategies, perform research and make sure to compose and fix any mistakes made on the essay.
