Self-Assessment– Course Learning Outcomes
| # | Learning Goal Write below (verbatim) all course learning outcomes listed in the syllabus. | Your Paraphrase Rewrite each course learning outcome in your own words. | Score 0-5 Rate your learning (see score key above) | Evidence of Learning Briefly describe an example (or provide a hyperlink to your work) to demonstrate your level of learning. |
| 1 | Examine how attitudes towards linguistic standards empower and oppress language users. | Explore how views on language standards can affect speakers positively and negatively | 4 | Writing our Language and Literacy Narrative allowed me to understand and break down a lot of conflicting ideas upon what makes or breaks ” Standard English”. |
| 2 | Explore and analyze, in writing and reading, a variety of genres and rhetorical situations. | Breakdown and discuss the topics and rhetorical issues. | 3.75 | Any rhetorical paper worked on could use more work but I have a decent understanding of what I need to do. |
| 3 | Develop strategies for reading, drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing. | Create adjustments for revision writing, group work, corrections and readings. | 5 | I believe I do great with this. This would be in reference to any essay or narrative we’ve done this semester so far. I believe I’ve done a pretty good job at fully understanding and visiting edits needed to improve my writing. |
| 4 | Recognize and practice key rhetorical terms and strategies when engaged in writing situations. | Comprehend and apply key phrases and techniques when writing. | 4 | Same as the learning outcome for number two I just strongly believe I have a better understanding with key terms. |
| 5 | Understand and use print and digital technologies to address a range of audiences. | Acknowledge and apply reliable resources to address a variety of readers. | 3.4/3.5 | I believe I do a pretty good job at finding resources that allow me to support any and all claims that I make; however, I know I need more help with finding reliable sources for a wide range of readers. I’d use the example of the synthesis essay for this. |
| 6 | 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. | Identify approved sources in CCNY’s library database, the web, newspapers and analyze the reliability and accuracy of resources. | 4.3 | In reference to the Language and Literacy Narrative, I think I do a good job at obtaining proper resources from a specific website and using them within my writing appropriately. |
| 7 | Compose texts that integrate a stance with appropriate sources, using strategies such as summary, analysis, synthesis, and argumentation. | Create narratives that push a stance which includes reliable information and references, techniques, and analyze. | 4.6 | In reference to our LLN, I’d say I did a pretty good job with using quotes directly from my sources and properly explaining and analyzing them. |
| 8 | Practice systematic application of citation conventions. | Exercise systematic analysis of citation conventions. | 3 | In reference to my synthesis essay, I believe I could do a better job with formatting my citations. |
