Course Expectations

After looking over the syllabus and attending the first day of class, I am still not completely sure on what to expect during the class but I have a few things I hope to learn during the semester. My most important expectation for this class is that I learn how to write a good, professional resume that will help me get a job upon graduation. I think that learning this during the semester is going to be extremely useful during my life. Some of my other expectations are to learn how to write professional documents, such as memos, cover letters, and professional emails. Since I want to go into a nursing career, I can see some applications where this knowledge will be useful, but I think that I will spend more time reading these documents rather than writing them. However, I think that it is good knowledge to have in case I ever need to write one of those types of documents. I also expect to have a decent amount of group work in this class, based on what I have heard from others who have already taken the course, and I expect to get a good grade in the class.
Overall, I think that the knowledge I attain in this class will be very useful and I am looking forward to starting the course material. I don't think this class will be like any of my other English classes, which is a good thing since I am not a big fan of writing research papers and other documents like that.
