English 1101

This year in English 1101, I have many expectations as to what I would like to learn and to achieve as a student in this class. I know that this class is mostly centered around writing, and I would like to develop better skills and knowledge in this area. I enjoy writing, and I would like to improve my skills so that I may become a better writer in the future. I also would like to learn more about and develop better skills in documenting sources when doing research assignments for class. Documenting sources is a very important part of writing and I want to better my skills so it will be easier to do. I also want to start reading more than I do and gain a better respect for it because it is a big part of being successful in college.
