English 1010: The Four Learning Outcomes

When I started English 1010, I knew that I would learn a lot of things from this class and I knew that I was expected to know how to write an essay, but I did not know what else to expect from the class. At the beginning of the first day of class Professor Weaver said that she would teach the class the four learning outcomes to pass English 1010.

To do this I had to use Blackboard Learn to submit it. By successfully submitting assignments on Blackboard Learn, it means that I know how to navigate and use the site. I also had to use software like Microsoft Word to write every assignment for English 1010 to “compose college-level texts”. With both of those examples it shows that I have fully satisfied and learn the technology use
