Thought this course I was able to achieve the learning outcome “Practice systematic applications of citation conventions” by learning to use the MLA format. I was able to learn the format by reviewing my essays. I was also able to achieve “compose texts that integrate the student’s stance and language with appropriate strategies such as summary, critical analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and argumentation” In the essays I had to include a bit of background of the sources I was analyzing so that the audience would know what I’m writing about. I had to use critical analysis to analyze the sources. I also had to interpret the sources to fit my argument and used synthesis to support the argument. I had to compare and contrast my sources in some cases which is also a use of synthesis.
