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)
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
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
Sincerely,
Giselle Gomez
