script. We edited and revised the script and questions until they were satisfactory.
We assessed each others work throughout the project, such as video quality and
level of contribution to the group project. We were also required to participate in a
peer review, in which our classmates watched our video and submitted comments
and suggestion. We then took these suggestions and used them to improve our
video. We completed our project through various mediums, including essay, video,
and online discussion boards. In creating a documentary with my team, I feel that I
made great progress toward this student learning outcome.
Analyze and describe the value of incorporating various languages, dialects and
registers in your own and others texts.
This is one learning outcome that I feel I did not make a lot of progress
toward. Throughout the semester, I didnt incorporate other languages, dialects, or
registers in my work. The only instances where I incorporated another language in
my work was in the urban legend documentary. The legend we chose was a Navajo
legend. We interviewed many members of the Navajo tribe, and in some portions of
the interviews, they spoke in Navajo or gave examples of Navajo terminology
related to the urban legend. In the future, I will continue to work towards this
learning outcome in other classes. For example, next semester I will be taking a
French class. If I am required to write any essays, or other forms of text, I will try to
incorporate both English and French into my text. That will help me to continue to
make progress towards this student learning outcome.
Evaluate your development as a writer over the course of the semester and describe
how composing in multiple genres and mediums using various technologies can be
applied in other contexts to advance your goals.
I believe that I have improved as a writer over this semester. In the past, I
have used the same system for writing essays, without trying new techniques very
often. In this course, however, I not only expanded my writing process, but also was
presented with opportunities to apply my process to multiple mediums and genres.
In Sequence 1 of this course, we were required to create and outline for one of our
assignments. This outline was intended to help us organize our thoughts and ideas
for the major writing assignment of the sequence. Normally I do not use an outline
in my writing process because I believed it was purely extra work and took time
away from writing the actual essay. However, after completing this outline and
using it as a guide for my essay, I discovered how helpful outlines could be. It not
only kept my essay organized as I was writing it, but saved me time as well because I
already had my main ideas and thoughts written down and clearly organized. I
continued to use this newfound writing device for the major assignments of
sequences 2 and 3, which featured different mediums, such as video and PowerPoint
presentation. Expanding my writing process and composing in multiple mediums
and genres allowed me to make progress toward this student learning objective.
