Dear Dr. Bruce


This semester has been a long and arduous one for me, however I am most

definitely better for it. From the first few days of class with the discussion board

posts and Extended Definition essay, all the way to the Portfolio, I felt like my

writing has taken a giant leap forward.

Before this class I felt like I was a solid writer. I had gotten decent grades

throughout the majority of my English classes, and I felt confident I could hold my

own as an academic writer. I did well in Freshman Composition class and passed

with an A, and also did very well in critical thinking and writing where I passed with

a B plus. Those classes however, were nothing compared to the challenge of this

class. This class, along with many other skills, has allowed me to learn and

demonstrate the 6 SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes). I have learned how to

effectively break down and analyze pieces of all different kinds of written academia

To prove that I am indeed proficient in these student learning outcomes, I have

chosen two documents to put in my portfolio to display my understanding of these

disciplines. The first document I have chosen is the Revised Annotated Bibliography.

This not only helped me prep for the Editorial assignment, but it also helped me

master the SLOS 2, 4, and 5. The Ethical Research SLO was at the forefront of this

because to complete the annotated bibliography, I was required to get 4 peer-

reviewed sources. I also used Organization and Focus in this assignment. Most

bibliographies require that you follow a specific set of guidelines, that all add up to
having proper MLA format, so that alone satisfies the organization and focus SLO.

This I along the same lines of SLO 5, which is design. I had to make sure that my

bibliography had proper structure and fit the guidelines of the assignment.

The second assignment I chose to provide in my portfolio that showed I had

mastered the SLOs is my peer review from Discussion Board 16 for Clarissa. In this

review, I deliver my knowledge of SLOs 1,3, and 6. In particular, I go in depth on

the SLO of organization. I describe how she can better format her wording and

layout of her discussion overall.

Thank you for having me in your class DR. Bruce, I hope I have displayed sufficient

understanding of the six SLOs, and I am without a doubt a better writer for taking

your class.

Best Regards,
Cristian Medina
