Outcome 3
Information Literacy
Information literacy consists of the student's ability to identify the credibility, relevance, and ethics of primary and secondary sources to use them effectively and accordingly to the purpose they are set by them.
Artifacts
Annotated Bibliography
The purpose of this assignment is to recollect the sources that will be used in the investigative field essay and annotate information regarding them. Moreover, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze the source to address the credibility, the connection it has to the research, and how it will be incorporated into the essay. By doing this, the relevance that the primary and secondary sources have regarding the topic of discussion will be enhanced and more easily perceived by the reader. This process had to be applied to six sources, 4 scholarly ones and 2 of the student's choice. Overall, considering the characteristics of this outcome, this assignment considerably relates to it.

Choosing your Artifacts for Project 2
This assignment was meant for the students to select the artifacts that relate to their field, which is necessary to plan the composition of their essay. Furthermore, for each artifact, three rhetorical strategies must be analyzed of the ones eligible, these being ethos, pathos, logos, genre conventions, context, author, audience, purpose, exigence, medium, constraints, metaphorical language, active/passive voice, use of visuals, organization, structure, tone, and formality. This encourages the student to analyze the different sources they find that relate to their topic and identify the various rhetorical strategies that these may have.

Reflection
These assignments met the criteria because the credibility and relevance of the collected sources were important aspects that needed to be analyzed in order to meet the expectations of the entire project. In both assignments, I had to collect reliable sources and explain their different characteristics and how I would use them in the corresponding final papers. Moreover, these artifacts were the most important ones to meet the criteria because the relevance and credibility of the primary and secondary sources had to be analyzed to select them for the project. Moreover, they were effective because I was able to select the most appropriate sources and plan ahead of time how I would use them in the final paper. I describe them as important tools that allowed me to be more organized in the process of completing my papers.
Finally, the writing process was a significant part of them as following the writing guidelines allowed for the organization of the assignment paper to be properly displayed. Analyzing both artifacts, it can be concluded that the action that they both require by the student, makes them fit the criterion for this outcome.
