Artifacts
QQC #1 "The Rhetorical Situation"
This assignment consists of a discussion post regarding Lloyd F. Bitzer's paper "The Rhetorical Situation", which this course's students read and analyzed it. I was able to draw questions about the reading and explain something from the text that caught my attention for my classmates to interact with me and provide their thoughts. Even though it was a short assignment, it was an effective way to expand my knowledge of rhetoric and the identification of literacy.

Project 2: Rhetorical Analysis of Field Artifacts (Description of assignment displayed on the "Outcome 1" page)
This project was greatly characterized by the presence of multimodality and the types of writing and language that have to be identified and comprehended by the students in order for us to develop insights and plan the content of our essay. By analyzing two artifacts with different characteristics, we were able to understand the variables that writing can have and how they affect it.

Reading Response: Genre Identification and Analysis
Based on the text "Make Your "Move": Writing in Genres" by Brad Jacobson, Madelyn Pawlowski, & Christine M., the students were assigned to write an essay answering a set of questions regarding genre. This text was provided for us to get an idea of what genre is and how its varieties can be identified. Furthermore, questions about the characteristics of the text's writing were asked, encouraging us to use our writing identification skills. These questions asked about the language, literacy, tone, and multimodality of the text. ​To sum up, I found this assignment aidful as I was able to identify the meaning of genre and its types, as well as understand the characteristics of the authors' writing.

Reflection
These assignments meet the requirements because they enable students to acquire a deeper understanding of the purpose of rhetoric and apply their knowledge in their writing. The assignment "QQC #1: The Rhetorical Situation" allowed me to gain insight into this aspect of writing by posing questions and analyzing quotes from the texts. Interacting with my classmates provided me with diverse perspectives and valuable insights. Similarly, "Project 2" involved conducting a rhetorical analysis of artifacts relevant to my field of study, which further enhanced my understanding of different aspects of writing. The "Rhetorical Situation" assignment had a significant impact on me as it heightened my awareness of how rhetoric can be effectively utilized in writing.
Lastly, in the "Reading Response: Genre Identification and Analysis" assignment I was able to analyze and reflect on the different aspects of writing from the text provided, helping me enhance my ability to identify a particular text's characteristics regarding the author's type of writing strategies. In the final analysis, in all the assignments mentioned that fit the criterion, my writing processes had to adapt to their requirement, which contributed to my growth as a writer since my ability to identify the type of writing in multiple excerpts and implement them correctly was improved.
