I think that the most useful tool will be the opinions of others when they read my papers or blogs and the feedback. This is because with the help of others not only will my paper be better but also my communication skills will be better as well. I think that the communication skill I need to improve is by finding more common grounds with others and developing a better overall plot to a story or paper. The main assignments are the I-search paper and the class portfolio due at the end of the semester. The I-search paper for the election will probably be the most interesting to me because earlier today the Democratic Convention had announced that Obama Will be the person who has the main support for the Democratic vote. The writing to solve problems seems to be least appealing because it seems as though there may be many situations that have different answers that will be considered correct if they are supported correctly. The one thing that I think I will be more prepared for is the end of the semester portfolio. I think that I learned from my mistakes or at least the weak points in my portfolio from the Summer Institute. The best thing for me to do to get all the assignments done to my preference is to figure out more time to work on them. This leads me to that there won’t be any excuses for any late work and it will not be excepted unless I bring up the fact that I won’t be there for class and make arrangements with Morgan otherwise. When it comes to the attendance policy I hope I don’t have to miss a class because the 50 point deduction each day I’m absent may kill my grade if I get sick or my job forces me to leave for the day.
Your office ours are from 9:30-10:45 a.m. and I think that I’ll be coming in as soon as we start are first major writing assignment. This is because I will need help trying to connect with the audience and may not know how to in a situation given. As a teacher I think your responsibility is to make the directions as clear as you can and to answer the questions we have without making more confusing because in the past I have had teachers who had taken my question and then asked me a question way off from my topic and then walked away. As a student I should ask about things that I am confused about without disrupting the class. From the syllabus I hope to learn how to better connect with my peers on subjects that split people apart. I think that I’ll be able to contribute an honest opinion that will help people make their works better. The feedback I get from my peers will be the most helpful this semester.
I can see how this semester will go but I don’t know as to what writing to explore, evaluate, and solving problems are. No suggestion as to improve the syllabus because I know that those things will be talked about in class. I don’t think that there is anything that scares me but I think I will enjoy the writing to explore paper. I say this because I am very imaginative and I think a paper that has to do with a lot thinking will be good area for me. I’m a procrastinator so I wait until the last minute, including this, and the best thing for me to do is to focus.

· When is the earliest we can make an appointment to speak with you?
