Project One Outcomes

Hello all,

I just want to make sure that we have some focus as we begin Project One. We will go over this information on Monday, but I thought you might be anxious to see expectations.

Course Learning Outcomes:
• Respond to the needs of different audiences and respond appropriately to different kinds of rhetorical situations
• Use writing and reading for inquiry, learning, thinking, and communicating
• Understand a writing assignment as a series of tasks, including finding, evaluating, analyzing, and synthesizing appropriate primary and secondary sources
• Integrate their own ideas with those of others
• Understand the relationships among language, knowledge, and power
• Understand writing as an open process that permits writers to use later invention and re-thinking to revise their work
• Understand the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes
• Learn to critique their own and others' works
• Use a variety of technologies to address a range of audiences
• Develop knowledge of genre conventions ranging from structure and paragraphing to tone and mechanics
• Practice appropriate means of documenting their work
• Control such surface features as syntax, grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Project One Learning Outcomes
• Explore and examine an experience that you feel you learned from and can now make “sense” of for an audience.
• Generate drafts that are consistent, well-structured, and reasoned.
• Expand understanding of the experience.

Take care, and have a great weekend.
