Course Learning Outcome 5

CLO 5: 

“Engage in genre analysis and multimodal composing to explore effective writing across disciplinary contexts and beyond”

As stated before, every assignment we did, we touched up on a genre analysis. Although they were lengthy, it really helped us get the gist of the checklists for our assignments. Being strangers to these new modes of writings, it was good being shown samples of effective writing pieces and ineffective pieces, and being able to distinguish which is which meant that we could avoid making these mistakes in our projects. 

Figure 4: Snippet of Furqan’s Instruction Genre Analysis 

In the screenshot above, I list the pros and cons of the instructable on how to cut pineapples. As I list the pros I make a mental note that tells me to make sure my own instructable is visually appealing, labeled properly, and has less intimidating words. As I list the cons, I make a mental note to treat my audience like a baby and avoid ambiguous steps and descriptions that might confuse them.
