One of my main goals for English 100 this semester is to improve my ability to write high quality essays. I have struggled with writing essays that clearly communicate my ideas in a cohesive and easy to read way in the past, and want to improve the structure of my essays in order to communicate more effectively.
I do have some worries about my ability to complete written assignments in a timely manner, as I am a habitual procrastinator. But hopefully I can mitigate this by starting assignments as soon as they are assigned, so that they are at least partially completed if they end up having to be finished at the last minute.
I am also looking forward to learning about the academic research process during the research paper project. I hope that that project also gives me an opportunity to improve my ability to effectively analyze different types of texts, as well as to get better at using proper APA or MLA citations.
