in which our group plans to organize our information, such as: providing subheadings,
incorporating 3-4 pictures, and introducing 1-2 pull quotes. Additionally, question #3 of this
documents provides visual thumbnail sketches of the proposed page layout.
The fifth SLO is language and design. The original editorial represents a good
implementation of this SLO. The crux of any editorial is centered on its thesis. On page 1 of the
editorial, I present a thesis that demonstrates outstanding control of language as well as concisely
describing the purpose of the text.
The sixth, and final, SLO is collaboration. My peer review of a classmates editorial, as
well as a classmates review of my cover letter are good examples of this SLO. In my peer
review of a classmates editorial, I comment that the arguments presented are not persuasively
conveyed and need to be strengthened. Likewise, my classmate recommended that my cover
letter needed better organization and support for some of my claims. The attached peer review of
my cover letter describes areas in which I need to improve my work. Likewise, the attached
review of my classmates editorial displays the ratings that I gave them on the editorial rubric as
well as the comments that I presented to justify and explain the ratings. This is an area that I can
definitely improve upon; however, I think that you will observe that I provided a meaningful
assessment in an effort to help improve my classmates writing skills.
In retrospect, the practice of these SLO(s) has enabled me to identify my strengths as well
as my weaknesses, and afforded me the ability to improve both. Going forward, I think that my
improved mastery of these SLO(s) will enable me to be a better writer in graduate school and in
my future career. I hope that you enjoy exploring this portfolio as confirmation of my
improvement as an undergraduate writer.
Sincerely,
David McWhorter
