Your Self-Assessment Essay goes in your Digital Portfolio. It should be the equivalent of 3-4 pages long plus any images you choose to include. Your previous self-assessments, homework assignments, and in-class reflections should serve as valuable sources of information and provide you with quote-worthy passages. Hyperlink these. Please use APA citation within the body of your essay and on a References page, and please compose a relative and inviting title for your essay. You are encouraged to personalize the delivery of your essay as you see fit. Thus, you decide the order, tone, style, and language you’ll craft in order to best reach your audience.

The digital portfolio and self-assessment essay are worth 15% of your grade.

Here are the Course Learning Objectives you will address in your essay. The question you are answering is whether you achieved these learning objectives in the course:

• Acknowledge your and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources, and draw on those resources to develop rhetorical sensibility
• Enhance strategies for reading, drafting, revising, editing, and self-assessment
• Negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation
• Develop and engage in the collaborative and social aspects of writing processes
• Engage in genre analysis and multimodal composing to explore effective writing across disciplinary contexts and beyond
• Formulate and articulate a stance through and in your writing
• Practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects
• Strengthen your source use practices (including evaluating, integrating, quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, synthesizing, analyzing, and citing sources)

The Final Self-Assessment Essay and Portfolio will not be evaluated on whether or not you have achieved the goals, but on how well you demonstrate your understanding of the goals that you have achieved and your thoughts about the goals that you have not achieved.
