Spring 2017 English Department Assessment: Self-Reflective Essay

For this assignment, you will be producing self-reflection essay to demonstrate that your work in English 2 has helped you to understand and achieve GELO Learning Goals 2 and 3 associated with the course (see below). This means you should reflect on and refer to the work you’ve produced in the class—especially the main assignments, but you may use other evidence as well—to show your progress. You may even refer back to your previous writing classes to help demonstrate your progress. Your goal is to convince your readers (SJSU writing instructors) that you have gained insight into what makes writing effective and you’ve begun to develop strategies for producing effective written and multimodal texts. 

Your reflection should answer the question: 

How does the work you have produced in your class reflect the qualities of effective writing as outlined in ENGL 2 learning outcomes?

ENGL 2 Course Learning Goals (GELOs):
2. Present effective arguments that use a full range of legitimate rhetorical and logical strategies to articulate and explain their positions on complex issues in dialogue with other points of view. 

3. Effectively locate, interpret, evaluate, and synthesize evidence in a comprehensive way in support of one’s ideas. 

Requirements:

• 500 words (two full pages)
•  MLA Style

 Due: Wed 5.10*—Hard copy only, no email
