This is an important statement in which you take stock on your progress towards achievement of the English 122 learning outcomes. In fact, you might use the learning outcomes as an organizational framework or outline for your statement, with each outcome receiving a paragraph or two of attention.
This approach would enable you to invite a reader to visit specific work samples, and you can even quote from your own work or embed images that become evidence of your progress over the term.
As with any of the sections of your ePortfolio, you have some latitude to organize as you see fit.
Learning Outcomes
Students who complete English 122 should be able to
- Demonstrate some ability to approach writing as a recursive process that requires substantial revision of drafts for content, organization, and clarity (global revision), as well as editing and proofreading (local revision).
- Begin to effectively integrate their ideas with those of others using summary, paraphrase, quotation, analysis, and synthesis of relevant sources.
- Employ techniques of active reading, critical reading, and informal reading response for inquiry, learning, and thinking.
- Demonstrate growth in their ability to critique their own and others’ work by emphasizing global revision early in the writing process and local revision later in the process.
- Reasonably document their work using appropriate conventions (MLA).
- Control individualized patterns of sentence-level error (grammar, punctuation, spelling).
