Introduction
During these last eight weeks, I have learned the importance of time management, I have learned how to analyse what we read which is something that I have tended to struggle with in the past. I have enjoyed some of the discussions we have had in class regarding stuff we had read for class, I liked hearing how people felt about the articles and being able to hear other peoples perspectives and feelings in ways I did not think of. I struggled with remembering certain reading and some assignments especially if there was an exam in one of my other classes, but I’m getting better with making a to do list everyday and checking the syllabus frequently. I think the part I’ve probably excelled at the most would be getting assignments done mostly on time, sometimes I struggle with turning them in on time but I’m pretty good at getting stuff in on time. Something I want to continue developing is my ability to ask questions when I am confused. Whenever I’m in class and I have a question I always ask it but if I’m outside of class and on my own I almost never ask it because I get nervous to reach out in order to get an answer.
Goal 1 (10%)
8.b: choosing words that work and fit into whatever the assignment is:Use the language and grammar suggestions they offer
I am including screenshots of my first digital project before I revised it and after I revised it so that it sounds better and the words fit into the paper more.

Goal 2 (10%)
2.a: explaining the situation without bringing unnecessary information into it: Find different people who are willing to read it and see if they think any of it is just taking up space

5.b: find appropriate sources and information in a scholarly way: Find articles that seem to be neutral about a situation and doesn’t involve any bias

Goal 4 (30%)
9.b: have multiple ways to fix a situation in case one doesn’t work out: Ask a peer if they have any suggestions and take into account what someone else may do in they situation
Unfortunately for this one I don’t have any screenshots to add on but I have reached out to multiple classmates if I had been confused on an assignment and needed them to explain something
(add more goals here as necessary)
Goal 5 (10%)
13.d: word choices fit with the writing, but they aren’t complex: Don’t use basic words but don’t use words that exaggerate too much
