My learning goals

My goal of learning
Daray(Ray) Choe
B block

Goal #1. My goal is to use strategies to address writing to different audiences.

Method #1. I didn’t care about the different audiences before. Therefore, I want to learn how to write differently when you have different audiences. I will write several writings which are aiming different audiences in both school and everyday life.

Goal #2. I will work hard to use precise and descriptive language that clarifies and enhances idea and supports different purposes.

Method #2. I think that my language is sometimes very vague and I can’t express my opinion well. So I will work hard on learning and using a descriptive and precise language and words.

Goal #3. My goal is using conventions of punctuation in written compositions.

Method #3. I will study hard in the class and review the hand-outs so I can use the punctuations in everyday writing. Also, I will memorize the important ones.

Goal #4. I will use a variety of criteria to evaluate the validity and reliability of primary and secondary source information.

Method #4. I am going to work hard when I am doing research for papers. I will also get help from others. For example, I will evaluate the information with friends and see if several people’s opinion is same or not.

Goal #5. I will work on “word choice”, which takes 10 percent weight.

Method #5. Often I heard the opinion that I write the paper with easy words. So I want to learn and work on paraphrasing the words. I will look for the dictionary when I use same easy words too much.
