english 101 goals

English 101 Course Goals
1. i think that i do a good job understanding the inquiry that is the beginning of all writing and reading assignments that we do. i have never failed to complete any of those. most of them make complete since to me and some dont.
2.yes, i have felt i reached this goal. i pay attention to everything that is said in class and i understand it
3. sometimes i feel like i understand, ok, put it this way i understand completely whats going on, but i dont understand why we have to do it.
4. we have been over arguments twice this semester. i think that everyone in the class has reached this goal of understandment.
5. i love this goal. i love that we go over other students homework and essays to learn about their mistakes. i love to go over my own essays and revise my work so i know what i can improve on.
6. we have done alot of stuff were we used the rhetorical situation and it makes me feel like it involves me and my ideas as other stuff i dont think it matters.
7. i love that we work with others. i get to know other people that i dont know and it helps me not be shy and nervous.
8. developing confidence is hard for me when i write and speak. i never liked doing it but i think that i am getting better.
9. i believe 100% that what i do is my responsibility. i take full responsibility in my own progress.

Course Content & Format
1. i feel like we have reached alot of information that helps us in our writing and reading.
2. we have gone through lots of examples that help us analyze visual and verbal text.
3. i love the way we do our drafts and revising in this class. it doesnt make much of a stressful life as what most classes make.
4. when we do our peer reviews- i love it, it helps me get a students point of view and because they are my age they understand what i am talking about. its more nerve wrecking to have peers review my work than a professor.
5. i believe that we need to come up with a way to help students come up with ideas on what to write about. not something crazy hard but sometimes people get stuck with other stuff on their mind and ideas just dont pop into their heads.
6. ok, i dont understand why we have to do this one, but we will do it and i will try my best on it.
7. i love that we have a portfolio. hopefully mine will turn out to be good but reflecting points is good.

University Core Curriculum Goals
1.i dont understand some, maybe most of the core curriculum goals but i have no choice but to do them. i like to say that we wont need them in our futures unless we are going to have a career about them. but we will have to teach our children everything we know someday.
2. i am happy with the way Ball State communicates with the students at college level.
3. sometimes i dont believe that the college does this but i havent had a problem with anything.
4. ok, i have no idea what this means but i dont have a problem with the way they handle my cultural heritage.
5. i like that we work with others on problems but not always do they get solved.
6. if the student gets involved them i am so happy that the college is trying to assess their talents and goals but i dont feel sorry for the ones who dont do anything to try to make this happen.
