Formulate and articulate a stance through and in your writing.  A stance was very important throughout our assignments. It is important for the audience to know my point of view. We had to portray our stance to the audience so that they would understand why I am writing this assignment. I also hope to have my audience to have a similar stance or feel towards the assignment. My stance for every assignment was what motivated me to write every assignment and helped me propose a clear statement or argument throughout the writing. 

Engage in genre analysis and multimodal composing to explore effective writing across disciplinary contexts and beyond.  Multimodal was the dominant media of our assignments throughout the semester. We submitted our works online via blackboard. Our documents could’ve been easily printed out whenever needed. We sent our work to our classmates and shared it with our crew members for editing. For our proposal assignment, we had document as a genre of proposal and also, we did a PowerPoint for our presentations during class online via zoom. 

Develop and engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes.  Since we were working remotely from home, we had to collaborate together and write on the same document at the same time. We were able to watch what our crew member were writing and which part of the assignment they were doing so that we will focus on a different aspect of the project. We were also able to ask each other for agreement or disagreement and give our own thoughts on why something written was good, or it should be taken out or altered. 

Negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation.  Throughout the semester, we were given assignments to demonstrate our points through a specific genre. When he had to an audience analysis for a lot of our projects. According to the genre of writing, we had changed our writing style to send our message to the audience. For example, for the technical description assignment, even if we knew what our product is, we still had to explain to our audience as beginners as if it was something new to them. Same with the lab …

Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment.  I was able meet this course learning outcome in many ways. I was able to proofread our work within our groups. We were also able to submit our work on a discussion board online so that our classmates can leave comments for us and peer edit it. We were able to use all of the drafting and edited our work for a final draft. Many of our assignments had peer review rubrics which we were able to use for self-assessment and evaluate our work ourselves. 

Acknowledge your and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources and draw on those resources to develop rhetorical sensibility.  The way I met this course learning outcome was through group work. Our group was very diverse, and we all had different backgrounds. We all had knowledge about different parts of the world other than the United States. When we had to select our topics for our proposals, we were able to bring up many potential topics we could’ve used outside the United States which gave us more variety in our choosing our topis.

A stance is very important who it comes to writing something. The audience needs to know what the author’s point of view is towards the subject of writing. People have different opinions and two writings about the same thing may also have a different stance. Writing throughout the semester with a specific stance has helped me stay focused towards my goal for the writing. I was able to figure out what I should and shouldn’t include in the writing to support my argument. For example, for the memo project, my stance was ” … that this is a major problem, not …

Media is very important when it comes to a rhetorical situation. The media is the type of way which the author of a writing is able to present his or her information to the audience. Most our work in this class was multimodal. This is because we were posting unrevised products for peer review and also submitting documents online as the finalized product. We also used a PowerPoint presentation to present our engineering proposal projects. Peer review was also done a lot through peer review sheets.

The purpose is the reason for why someone has done a writing. There could many different reasons why someone wrote something. For example, it could be to inform, entertain, persuade, or explain something. Purpose is one of the most important aspects of writing. If you know your purpose, you can easily decide what the genre of the writing should be as well because a genre also helps get your purpose across.
