Hey Tiffany, I also was confused a little bit about what to pick for what to be evaluated of my paper in SmarThinking. I did not like that allows for just two things, but overall it is a great service, and gives useful feedbacks. I agree with you about professor Williams, she made this course go by nice and smooth. We learned a lot of things about writing, step by step, and finally we demonstrated it on our papers. Following these steps; from writing down an annotated bibliography, writing a source synthesis matrix, and adding a type of persuasive appeal, makes writing a paper simpler, and more

    Throughout this semester, we have written two major papers that really display my capabilities as a writer. By evaluating these two pieces with the learning outcomes established at the beginning of this semester, outcomes 1, 2, and 3 are most applicable when gauging my progress in this course. Learning outcome 1 is, "Demonstrate academic research and writing skills in essays and projects to participate in a scholarly conversation" Learning outcome 2 is, "Demonstrate critical reading through a knowledge of the forms and functions of a variety of texts" Learning Outcome 3 is, "Follow a research writing process that includes developing a topic, locating and evaluating sources (including peer-reviewed), composing in response to those sources, and revising and reflecting on that process;" Each of these outcomes I believe I have met by using them as goals when writing in and out of class.
