How I'm working to achieve SLCC's School-Wide Learning Outcomes
Students communicate effectively. This includes developing critical literacies—reading, writing, speaking, listening, visual understanding—that they can apply in various contexts; Organizing and presenting ideas and information visually, orally, and in writing according to standard usage; Understanding and using the elements of effective communication in interpersonal, small group, and mass settings.
I'm learning how to communicate effectively by writing papers in my Queer Studies class. My professor is helping me with my written communication skills which will help me later in life as I work to become a lawyer.
Students develop quantitative literacies necessary for their chosen field of study. This includes approaching practical problems by choosing and applying appropriate mathematical techniques; Using information represented as data, graphs, tables, and schematics in a variety of disciplines; Applying mathematical theory, concepts, and methods of inquiry appropriate to program-specific problems.
In my Economics as a Social Science class I'm learning how to interpret and create graphs that help understand our country's economic systems. This will help me understand our country more, which is important to be a good lawyer.
Students think critically and creatively. This includes reasoning effectively from available evidence; demonstrating effective problem solving; engaging in creative thinking, expression, and application; Engaging in reflective thinking and expression; Demonstrating higher-order skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation; Making connections across disciplines; Applying scientific methods to the inquiry process.
In my Queer Studies class, we are learning how to think critically about how LGBTQ issues have progressed throughout history, and what directions they are and should be moving in.
Students develop the knowledge and skills to be civically engaged. This includes understanding the natural, political, historical, social, and economic underpinnings of the local, national, and global communities to which they belong; Developing the awareness of both civil rights and civil responsibilities for individual and collective action in a democracy; Engaging in service-learning for community building and an enhanced academic experience; Develop the knowledge and skills to take leadership roles.
Both my Economics as a Social Science and my Queer Studies classes help me become more civically engaged. I am learning about the prevailing economic systems in our country and the world, and also about how I can get involved to help LGBTQ people achieve social, political, and economic equality.
Students develop the knowledge and skills to work with others in a professional and constructive manner. This includes engaging with a diverse set of others to produce professional work; Interacting competently across cultures; understanding and appreciating human differences; Understanding and acting on standards of professionalism and civility, including the SLCC Student Code of Conduct.
My Queer Studies class helps me appreciate human differences. It also helps me work with others since the class is discussion-based and we often work in groups.
Students develop computer and information literacy. This includes using contemporary computer hardware and software to effectively complete college-level assignments; Gathering and analyzing information using technology, library resources, and other modalities; Understanding and acting upon ethical and security principles with respect to computer technology and to information acquisition and distribution; distinguishing between credible and non-credible sources of information, and using the former in their work in an appropriately documented fashion.
My Economics as a Social Science class is helping me develop computer literacy, since it is an online course and we must learn how to navigate MyPage and Canvas in order to be successful in the class.
