Dear Dr. Bruce:

During this semester I have noticed significant improvement in my knowledge and skills

of written communication. I have acquired various skills in the six student learning outcomes

SLO. Furthermore, to demonstrate my mastery of the SLO’s I have formed a portfolio consisting

of a revised resume and my teams group charter. Next, each of my paragraphs will describe what

assignment I've chosen and the SLO’s that go along with it.

Furthermore, in my progress report it shows that I’m able to write a formal memo about

my team's progress that satisfies the (SLO 1) of rhetorical focus. The purpose of this assignment

was to convince my audience in this case Dr. Bruce of my team’s progress. Next, I carefully

communicated the overall status of my group’s progression on the iFixit Project. I reported the

issues we were having while also describing the solutions we found; this also satisfies (SLO 3)

on persuasive arguments. My original report needed more information regarding future

assignments thus, my new document is fully revised to show that I have achieved this. The

progress report that I’m newly submitting properly addresses (SLO 4) organization and focus

while still communicating the required information. For example, I took the opportunity to

include my team’s logo, edit my summary and organize the future work in a list of bullet points.

This method not only looks well thought out and easier to read, but it also clearly communicates

the purpose of the section.


Next, my minor text I’ve chosen is the group charter; our team used (SLO 2) ethical

research from a website to show how to resolve inner conflicts and we also used Markel text to

help us improve our technical writing. Moreover, we properly cited these findings on our work

cited page in APA format. Furthermore, the group charter was a collaborative assignment which

satisfies (SLO 6) and it was a pleasure to write with my classmates. The conflict resolution

section in the charter suggest (SLO 5) academic language and design because it expresses

sensitivity to others no matter their gender or culture. Our purpose was to demonstrate a strict

tone without seeming inconsiderate this was shown in the sentence “No judgement will be

passed on the members until he or she has spoken for his or herself.” This quote describes our

professional tone and how we solve inner conflicts among our group peacefully. Furthermore,

from your comments, I have revised our mission statement, expectations and firing clause. These

three new revisions fulfill (SLO 3) persuasive arguments and (SLO 4) organization and focus.

The adjusted mission statement is more concise, and the expectations section include a bullet

point on how many days the team members will wait for a text or email response. Lastly, the

firing clause now includes a sentence about low quality work may constitute as a strike.

Overall, this class has definitely help me to better understand technical writing and how

to apply it to real life scenarios. This course has taught me valuable skills of not only technical

writing, but also of teamwork. Everything I learned I will apply it to my undergraduate degree

and future career. In my portfolio you will also see a side by side comparison page between my

two documents the original’s and revised one’s; which I believe will make it easier to read.

Thank you for your time in reading my cover letter. I hope you will be able to see my progress

when you review my portfolio.

Sincerely,

Giselle Gomez
