What I Expect Out of the Class (Eng 103 Lab)

This semester in my English 103 Class, I expect to be able to organize my papers better, to become a more persuasive writer and to have a better understanding of more difficult text and literature. 

Throughout my high school career my teachers have always expressed to me that I have the potential to become a very good writer. One of the main obstacles that are in the way of me reaching my goal is my disorganization when writing. I tend to jump around from idea to idea, which causes me to confuse myself as well as my reader. If I could organize my ideas better, I know my readers will have a better grasp of what I am talking about.

Also, I would like to focus on getting my opinions across better in my literature. I need to learn how to make strong points and provide evidence to appropriately support them. In doing so, I will become better at writing how I feel and give my readers a better understanding of who I am as an individual.

Lastly, I would like to get a better understanding of what I am reading when faced with challenging and complicated books. As of right now, when the language is difficult to read or the words are strung together in ways different from what I am used to, I have a hard time staying focused and understanding what I had previously written.

From my English 103 class, I expect to be able to organize my ideas better and create more persuasive arguments to become a better writer and read for better understanding to become a better reader. All of these ideas are essential to the the idea of literature, and I look forward to bettering myself in this class.
