2. Evaluate the effectiveness of each question in terms of what it allows students to communicate about the knowledge, feelings, and practices they might have with respect to each learning outcome. (for this task, you should produce some comments that account for WHAT information each question provides with respect to the learning outcome it is listed under, and some observations about how well it provides that information)
3. Note (make a list of) any information about the 5 learning outcomes that the Department might need = but that will NOT be gathered through these questions.
Student Learning Outcome #1: students will produce essays through a series of drafts that include exploratory writing or talk, as well as revisions that include addition, deletion, substitution and rearrangement.
#1: I typically revise my writing multiple times (gives students the freedom of starting all over again if needed)
#5: When I revise my first draft, I spend most of my time on issues related to purpose, audience, content, and/or organization (mentions the importance of drafting and addition/deletion and substitution)
#7: I use writing as part of my thinking and analytic processes (free writing, always necessary when drafting)
#12: When I revise my first draft, I spend most of my time on grammatical issues (addition/deletion and substitution)
#14: When I revise my writing, my revisions typically include additions, deletion, substitution, and rearrangement
#15: I typically brainstorm or do other planning activities (ex. freewriting, listing, clustering as part of the writing)
#16: Overall as a writer, I would rank myself (writing skills based on those components from SL #1)
#17: Overall as a critical reader, I would rank myself
Student Learning Outcome #2: students will identify central ideas/themes of a text through class discussion and writing.
#6: I am able to use discourse analysis to explore research questions (discourse is widely used mostly in class)#8: I feel comfortable talking about the main ideas of a text in class discussions (participation required to engage in main idea talks and comfort)
#11: I am able to interpret the main ideas of a text (it offers students the opportunity to take apart the text and be able to further understand its content)
Student Learning Outcome #3: students will use two or more methodologies from English Studies to develop original research or creative products.
#2: I am confident in my ability to conduct primary research (research, research and more research)#4: I able to use textual analysis to explore research questions (comparisons and first hand research)
Student Learning Outcome #4: students will demonstrate ability to give a compelling oral presentation.
#10: I am comfortable giving presentations#13: I have given a presentations where the audience used writing to respond to my ideas
#18: Overall as a speaker, I would rank myself
