• I think that after looking at my writing project reflections each project helped me accomplish the course outlines. After completing all of them I believe all of the outlines were accomplished. With writing project #1 the specific outcomes that were accomplished were 1 & 2. With writing project #2 they were 2, 4, &5. For WP#3 they were 1, 2, 3, 5, &6.
• Throughout this course there were a lot of readings. Most of the readings were review and some were completely new ideas. I really appreciated the review and the helpful tips because I feel they greatly helped my writing. They made my papers stronger because my papers were more accurate. In my final reflection letter I will discuss how the readings straightened me as a writer and made my papers a whole lot better than they would have been.
• After looking at all my deadline reflections and the homework assignments associated with them it became very clear that different assignments were directly aimed for accomplishing specific course outlines. Early on during homework we accomplished the first few outcomes and as the time went on we worked our way down the outcomes list. After completing all of the homework assignments and writing projects we accomplished all of the course outcomes. It's almost as if we did it without even knowing it.
