SLO Reflections 2
Critical Thinking
Critical thinking
This is the first time I have had to utilize critical thinking in multiple ways. I have only had to use it in one or another. Not different ways at once.
Critical thinking applies to more than one aspect of presenting a project. It involves solving problems, having an open mind, and analyzing. This applied to pieces of my project. My point of reason, the audience, and how I can tie in both. This was one of my goals at the start of this second project. I wanted to use information and feedback to better assist my audience with the information that I am providing. I did not face many challenges in doing this because one of our assignments required primary information. In collecting data, I provided answers to questions my audience may have. I interviewed my coworker named Keith Tutt. I asked him questions that most people had or have about the topic I was discussing. I then was able to show my how-to video and instructions. Also, I was able to provide answers, knowledge, and facts. I had to find a way to include the information I collected in my video, which was a bit challenging. My video was required to be under 6 minutes but not under 4 minutes. That was a lot to include in just a four-minute video. I was not able to list my resources, only the information collected.
Rhetorical Situation
Rhetorical Situation
I am surprised, I did everything I said I wanted to for this SLO.
For Rhetorical Situation, I wanted to utilize this SLO to pay attention to detail. In the end, I used it to organize my project. Previously, I did not have much knowledge about this SLO. I wanted to provide the details of a few things in my project. Things about the audience and their needs, my purpose, and the context. The only thing I learned to add was my stance as well. I did this in my outlining and structuring. I found my purpose through my thesis. From my thesis, I developed the purpose of each part of my video. I start by explaining the thing I am talking about and what it is. By doing this, I answered a few questions my audience may have. I then discussed how to structure my main topic, extra instructions, and my conclusion. This helped me organize how my video would be structured, so I could include everything I wanted and needed. The main challenge was different ideas and ways to do all of this. I was unsure what I was going to show and not going to show. Discuss and not discuss. I had to be creative and multitask while doing both.
Adapting Style
Adapting Style
This SLO was easier for me to apply than I thought.
Initially, I wanted to use this SLO to share or gain more knowledge on something I was not initially comfortable with. I used this SLO after our peer review discussion board. I posted my rough draft. I only included one way people can open crab legs. After reviewing my peer responses, I included a second way someone can utilize to open crab legs. In addition to a second way, I applied conventions correctly in my assignment. Also, I included grammar and figurative language by defining crab legs and the utensils I used. The design of my video allowed me to get a closer view of the crab legs I was reviewing and not just the speaker(myself). This also came after the feedback of my peers. Someone mentioned they saw a great view of me, but not necessarily the crab legs. This only became difficult when thinking of my time management of my video. I knew now, I had to find a way to include what I wanted to show and what I needed. Transitions and summarizing came into play. My video style had to include good diction that was easy to follow and a kind and understanding tone.
