Dear Elizabeth,
I am writing to inform you about my understanding of the Course
Outcomes and how they will relate to my future academic and
professional life. The first course outcome we addressed this semester
was the Analysis of the Rhetorical Situation. For this learning outcome
we had to analyze the subject, purpose and audience of each major
writing assignment to determine what type of document we had to
produce. For each major writing assignment we were give a rhetorical
situation from the prompt and from that information we had to make
sure our work reflected that we understood who we were writing to
along as what we were writing about. For the first major writing
assignment we had to produce an electronic portfolio the contained our
cover-letter and resume for a future employer. On our website portfolio
we had to talk about ourselves in third person and this again was to
address the different people who may look at my website. Through my
cover-letter and resume I tailored them to the specific job posting I was
inquiring about. With this assignment and understanding of this course
outcome I will be able to use this new skill to develop other cover
letters and resumes for when I plan to apply for internships and
professional positions. I am now able to look at a job posting and
analyze it to see how exactly I should write the required materials.
The second course outcome we went over this semester was to,
Find and Evaluate Information. For this course outcome, based on our
analysis of the rhetorical situation we had to gather information from
professional, academic, and government sources. We used the
information we gathered and determined if it was valid and if we had a
quality source. For the Research/Recommendation report we had to do
not only our own research by interviewing and surveying people, but
for my report, I looked onto other universities websites to see what
services they provided and based on that information I was able to
make recommendations. I had interviewed professionals at my
university as well to better my recommendations I was giving. I am
currently majoring in Biology and I have read many research reports
that were similar to this major writing assignment. From completing
