(1) Jessica Vu addresses the course outcomes directly. She paraphrases them and says how the themes of the course were used to fulfill the outcomes.
(2) Vu includes the prompts for the paper, her original drafts, Jentery’s letters, and her final drafts at attachments. She contextualizes the assignments within the course so readers can understand what each paper is about. Including these documents allows readers to see the progression of her work, including how she incorporated Jentery’s suggestions. In her explanatory paragraphs, she also gives concrete examples of how she fulfilled the outcomes, often quoting her paper, so the reader doesn’t have to make these conclusions for him/herself.
(3) Organization – she clearly labels sections as being about a specific outcome, so it’s very easy to read and see what point she’s trying to make. Language – she speaks neither too casually nor too informally, so she’s credible without being hard to understand. Use of evidence – makes her persuasive.

(5) Organization – including a general introduction, then labeling sections as being about “Outcome 1” or “Outcome 2” is very clear and helps the reader understand where you’re going. Contextualizing – Vu argues not only that the papers not only fulfill the course outcomes but also address the main theme of the course. Quotes – giving quotes from your own paper to show what was lacking in your first paper, what Jentery specifically told you to change, and how you addressed these suggestions in your final paper is very effective. Also, it’s good to attach not only your final paper but also the original, unrevised version and Jentery’s suggestions.
