Dear Dr. Bruce,

English 360, Technical Writing, has been nothing short of a rewarding and influential
class that allowed me to improve my writing and style as a student writer. This class has allowed
me to accomplish all student learning outcomes (SLO) expected through my coursework
assigned this semester with you. The pieces of work that will be demonstrating such
accomplishments will be: my cover letter, resume, and Team Espresso Fixs group charter. This
letter will further explain each of these assignments and how each has harbored the different
SLO accomplishments.
To begin, this cover letter satisfies SLOs #1 Rhetorical Focus, #3 Persuasion, and #5
Language and Design. This letter is written with the rhetorical focus of being written to Professor
Bruce in formal letter, to also persuade as to how I have met all six student learning outcomes
over this semester. In addition written in the formal language and short paragraph design to
make reading and understanding from each work simple.
Next assignment is the resume. The resume directly influences SLOs #1 Rhetorical
Focus, #3 Persuasion, #4 Organization, and #5 Language and Design. My personal resume
allowed me to write with the rhetorical focus of formality and professionalism with the purpose
to convince you, Professor Bruce, that I was the best suit to be Photography Manager on an
iFixit team. In doing so, I was able to write with a focus along with persuasion as my goal. The
resume required to be organized in a navigable and clean outline giving simplistic yet detailed
wording to best express myself. The resume was an important piece that allowed me to tailor
my own experiences to exemplify how such makes me best for Photography Manager. I upheld
professional language and design throughout the resume to express my confidence.
Minor text Team Espresso Fixs Group Charter accomplished SLOs #1 Rhetorical Focus,
#2 Ethical Citation, and #6 Collaboration. With the charter having the focus to inform our
audience of our exact objectives and goals to be met, it allowed us to write effective with
purpose. The group charter gave opportunity to improve ethical citation skills by incorporating
relevant citations into our paragraphs to strengthen our research and credibility. Lastly it helped
with collaboration skills as a team, allowing each member to communicate comments and
feedback through Google Docs to improve specific areas, grammatical errors, and sentence
structures.
All mentioned assignments completed in English 360 exemplify the accomplishments of
all six Student Learning Outcomes Dr. Bruce has outlined for the class. Upon stepping back and
reflecting on them all, I am confident as a writer I have strengthen, improved, and technically
grown in my style effectively and professionally. I am very proud of my accomplishments and
progress, in addition stand behind my efforts as they model my student outcomes in this class. I
certainly hope you feel the same as you read this letter and review my portfolio.
Sincerely,
Alexis Gamez
