Giorgi Managadze
| # | Learning Goal Write below (verbatim) all course learning outcomes listed in the syllabus. | Your Paraphrase Rewrite each course learning outcome in your own words. | Score 0-5 Rate your learning (see score key above) | Evidence of Learning Briefly describe an example (or provide a hyperlink to your work) to demonstrate your level of learning. |
| 1 | Examine how attitudes towards linguistic standards empower and oppress language users. | Explore how views on language standards can affect speakers positively and negatively | 4 | This was present within my synthesis essay, where I showed, using a relevant source, how accent biases affect interviewees in various companies. |
| 2 | Explore and analyze, in writing and reading, a variety of genres and rhetorical situations. | Understanding and learning about different situations and themes in literature | 3 | For me, this was most prevalent in our readings regarding the development and recognition of “Black English”. |
| 3 | Develop strategies for reading, drafting, collaborating, revising, and editing. | Improve existing ways of developing essays or discover new ways of improving general writing | 4 | This was most prevalent with the 1-on-1’s, more than with the in-class peer reviews, as in class, it felt as though we had to rush through each other’s texts as fast as we could and try to give general feedback, whilst not being able to give more descriptive and specific feedback. |
| 4 | Recognize and practice key rhetorical terms and strategies when engaged in writing situations. | Perceive and capitalize on recurring strategies in various writing scenarios | 3 | I believe this was present most in our earlier assignments on specific guidelines for writing in more Standard English. |
| 5 | Understand and use print and digital technologies to address a range of audiences. | Better using and discovering digital tools for addressing differing audiences | 3 | During our presentations for our Translation assignment(s), I really enjoyed seeing how others used various methods to better convey their intended purpose. I believe I learned a lot from those experiences. |
| 6 | Locate research sources (including academic journal articles, magazine and newspaper articles) in the library’s databases or archives and on the Internet and evaluate them for credibility, accuracy, timeliness, and bias. | Using readily available tools to better search for relevant and peer-reviewed sources on a given topic. | 4 | Our class in the library was the class which really made me discover the best way(s) to identify and locate relevant and sufficient research sources. |
| 7 | Compose texts that integrate a stance with appropriate sources, using strategies such as summary, analysis, synthesis, and argumentation. | Properly synthesising different texts with relevant sources for specific purposes | 4 | I believe it was during both of our classes (in which we experimented with using different AI’s for SAE and making any grammatical changes) that this was really present. |
| 8 | Practice systematic application of citation conventions. | Properly citing and using sources in texts. | 4 | Our class in the library really helped with this topic |
