Course Goals? Sure.

Ok, so this year in 1204H I need am seeking to grow in many areas of writing and research. But before I really begin to grow and make progress, I need to set goals that I can progress towards, keeping my learning focused in order to make the most of my time. So, I have set three goals for this course:

1. To learn how to perform research and then accurately relay what I have discovered to others. This will be much needed in whichever area of Engineering I go into, as research and then relaying that information is key to all fields.

2. To learn how to vary my sentence structure (fancy word: syntax) to better capture the attention of my audience and to better relay information learned. I feel that most of my writing structure is plain and can become boring without syntax variation.

3. To learn how to open and close a research paper. This will be a needed skill for me later on in my career as I will be required to adequately document my research.
