Eng Homework That We Have Over Spring Break...Suck

English 102 Course Goals
1) I am aware that that rhetoric can be both visual and in the text form. I am comfortable with this and practice this.
2) I am comfortable as to how to use persuasion to...persuade the viewer or reader and have been doing this for a long time now.
3) I have developed my style and am comfortable with the way i write.
4) Its important to know what exactly you are talking about and be clear on what you say, otherwise the reader will put it down and watch MTV...and bring about the end of the world.
5) You have to have good points if you want a good argument. Or like McArdle likes to say "You gotta have those glowsticks when you are at the rave"...terrible simile in my opinion.
6) Hey its prolly a good idea if you do research on a topic you are talking about! JUST SAYIN.
7) In order to develop your inner writer you must practice what you are writing. Blogging is actually a good idea to help develop your style
8) Its important to have your papers correctly formatted otherwise your "ethos" will be tainted. Who wants to read a paper that is poorly formatted?!
9) Slacking=death, so I make sure that I am responsible when it comes to papers and stuff
10) I am comfortable with this goal fully and have no problem interacting in a group.
11) I need to work on this goal, but I am trying to improve by revising.
12) I am trying to take constructive criticism and get better at writing and communicating what it is I'm trying to say.

Course Content & Format
1) I completely understand this goal and like being analyzed by my peers as well as analyzing my classmates
2) I understand this goal and find this goal quite easy to achieve.
3) I enjoy confrences and find it crucial for helping a writer get better.
4) This goal is a work in progress.

University Core Curriculum Goals:
1) I am slowly getting better at achieving this goal, but I do enjoy learning
2) Communicating at the college level is not a problem for me.
3) Everyone has their own set of beliefs and values and its important to respect other peoples opinions even if they differ from your own.
4) Knowledge of history can greatly help how we progress as mankind
5) Its important to work with others to solve problems. If people worked together many then we could solve many issues.
6) I am using my talents and skills. I went to this college because of my love of making films.

Wow this assignment is redundant. These 22 goals could be summed up into less than ten easily.
