Essays Student Learning Outcome #5 for English 100 states, Select credible academic resources from the library to a research topic. This skillset requires me to use reliable online and book sources to obtain credible information. The day we went into the computer lab for an introduction to the library is related to this outcome because in that presentation, we were

able to learn which websites and sources were reliable. This presentation showed me websites I would have never known about to get articles or peer reviewed sources.

Works cited Student Learning Outcome #6 for English 100 states, Document sources (print, electronic, and other) in MLA format. This skillset involves me to cite and give credit to all of the sources that I have used ranging from print or web sources. All of the essays and projects that we have done throughout the course is a display of this outcome because all of our work requires us to have a works cited page, so that we could cite all of the sources we use. One of the main assignments that relates to this would be our final works cited page for our ePortfolio because we were asked to cite all of the books that we have read through the semester. Citing our work is a way for us to be accountable for the sources and information that we have used, and also gives credit to the information that we obtain from print or web sources.
