Course Reflective Narrative:
This course allowed for the early stages of the Capstone project done in the course WLC 300: pre-capstone, to continue the examination on the topic declared as your project. The course began with an update on the list of articles found related to our topics during the pre-capstone class and conclude which were non-academical resources (MLO 6). As we began to find more resources, we were taught how to cite each source, following either the APA format for linguistics topics and MLA format for literature. The formatting that my partner and I followed was the APA style, since our project centers under linguistics aspects in the use of language inclusivity within the Spanish language in the use of non-binary and binary forms. The skills on citing in the correct way was completed by determining the errors and fixing them on the classwork assignments provide. One of the assignments that was done during this course that served as an early approach on how to cite in APA format and find articles that were adequate for use when doing research, was an annotated bibliography, doing so many of us improved the ability of citing in a coherent and easy manner. A very exciting point in which I learned a lot of from was, when all the classmates shared their ideas and showed me how unique we are all in approaching distant topics, that I may have covered in another course. For example, there is a group if presenters who will cover the Mexican revolution reflected in two books in which I would have never expected to find much detail on Mexican women's role. I plan to further explore the skills learned under citing, presenting and analyzing in the final project titled Capstone.
