Student Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes in a graphic

The writer presents a clear thesis or focus that is consistent throughout the work.

The writer fully develops ideas using support appropriate to the genre and/or purpose for writing (such as research, sources, data, personal experience, analysis, or obersvation).

The writer clearly organizes ideas throughout the work. Metacongnition and Self-Regulations

Students will strengthen their time management skills related to the writing process.

Students will demonstrate a willingness to seek out student support services integrated into the QEP course.

Peay Composed courses are taught by faculty who have participated in a community of practice where they have thoughtfully reflected on the course, the learning outcomes, and ways they can better support students with their course writing assignments. Through this process, faculty will develop a pedagogical action plan to help students.

Peay Composed has a variety of institutional initiatives that support student writing. These include drop-in writing support and study events during the semester that are both fun and academically supportive. Peay Composed aims to showcase good student writing and good faculty practices while destigmatizing student support and help-seeking by promoting the value of peer review and revision.
