The Academic Summary assignment was one our first assignments this semester. It was the perfect beginner assignment to gauge how developed our writing skills are and where we could improve throughout the course.

Course Learning Outcome for Academic Summary

CLO 4 - Engage in the composition process to develop arguments with clarity in prose and purpose --in various genres and for various audiences (including faculty across-disciplines), based upon feedback from peers and instructor, around a shared set of criteria.

After the first draft of the academic summary, we had the chance to receive helpful critique from not only the professor but our peers as well. Having the opportunity to critique and to receive criticism was beneficial on both ends.

Course Learning Outcome for Annotated Bibliography

CLO 3 - Develop reading practices that inform writing strategies by identifying,evaluating, interpreting, and incorporating evidence effectively to meet the information need and communicate a specific purpose, demonstrating information literacy.

The annotated bibliography and the key entry essay both gave us the chance the learn how to research. Not just a google search but looking and reading scholarly sources. Along with researching reliable sources we also had to learn how to accurately implement our research into writing.

CLO 6 - Recognize and reflect on cultural biases and norms, and how they impact one’s world view and writing, by practicing the linguistic choices that can construct contexts and promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Looking into the history of a chosen topic and seeing the progression throughout the years relates best with CLO 6. Specifically with my topic ,mental health, I knew going into the assignment about the controversies and views on mental health in the past but it really infornational to deepen my knowledge.

This timeline was one of favorite assignments this semester, it appreciated the opportunity to look into the history of an important topic in today's society. Mental health is important topic and I really enjoyed the uniqueness of this assignment along with how it was presented.

Annotated Bibliography

Before this assignment, I had never heard of an annotated bibliography so it was nice to get the opportunity to attempt to write one. Even if not perfect, it is a new skill that I got to practice.
