Goals

The goal of my English 100 class:

In this class, you will be challenged to read, write, and think in new ways, and I will be here to guide and support you throughout this process. The ultimate goal of the course is for you to become a more confident and proficient writer. I hope that you come away from this class with writing and study skills that will help you in your future. I also hope that you will learn something about yourself in this class, and maybe have a little fun along the way!
