Students will be able to draw conclusions based on analysis and interpretation of primary evidence and place that work in conversation with other source materials.
I was able to complete learning outcome five through the discussion section of my research paper. This section tasked me with synthesizing my primary data and my secondary sources to create and support my central claim. In this section, I took certain information from each source and added my thoughts and opinions on how it connects with the other sources and to the overall research question. The decisions I made allowed me to meet the fifth learning outcome. By first finding the sources that related to my questions and then drawing conclusions based on my analysis and interpretation of the sources, I feel I was able to meet the criteria of learning outcome five.
