Abstract

Within my Self-Assessment Essay, it illustrates how I have developed as a writer over the course of the semester. This is done by displaying the different assignments that I’ve written as well as the experiences I had in writing them. The experiences that I’ve received in this class allowed me to understand that I can continue to improve as a writer since there are many aspects of writing that I can still experience throughout my life. The Course Learning Objectives that I was able to reach were:

1. Acknowledge your and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources, and draw on those resources to develop rhetorical sensibility
2. Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment
3. Negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation
4. Develop and engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes
5. engage in genre analysis and multimodal composing to explore effective writing across disciplinary contexts and beyond
6. Formulate and articulate a stance through and in your writing
7. Practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects
8. Strengthen your source use practices (including evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources)
