Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

ENGL 16 - Academic Writing Workshop - Stage 5 - Amy Miles

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work Student self-assessments (such as reflective journals and surveys) Student satisfaction surveys Pre & post surveys or tests Capstone projects or final summative assignments
Assessment Description	Students created a reflective portfolio. In it, they included copies of the most useful handouts and activities and analyzed how/why they found these pieces helpful. Students also reflected on how they could refer back to this portfolio in future composition classes. Finally, they included copies of their heavily revised essays from the semester.

Data Summary	We discovered that 90% of the students were able to develop their own writing process, moving from invention to drafting to revising and editing.
