Learning Outcomes ​

• Identify how their views of writing have changed as a result of the work they have done in the course,

• Demonstrate their ability to analyze different rhetorical situations (in academic, workplace, or civic contexts),

• Demonstrate their ability to use their analyses of rhetorical situations to identify options and to make appropriate choices that will enable them to use writing to achieve specific purposes,

• Demonstrate their ability to locate, read, evaluate, select and use (integrate) effectively information from appropriate sources with their own ideas

• Demonstrate control of situation-appropriate conventions of writing,

• Explain what they have learned from being a novice in new writing situations, and describe how these experiences, which might include failure, contribute to their willingness to accept new challenges as a writer,

• Demonstrate their ability to collaborate effectively as members of diverse teams / groups of writers,

• Evaluate the ways in which they have become a more reflective (mindful, self-aware, thoughtful) writer.

​

Get into groups of 4. As a group, pick a Learning Outcome as a group and come up with an explanation of the concept. 

​

Let's discuss as a class. As we are discussing each learning outcome, I will ask another group for  specific piece of evidence from Composition to support you have either struggled with, worked towards, or accomplished that outcome.
