Ex 1: STW Goals Statement

What are your goals for this class?

Write a single paragraph, about 200 words, in a form that demonstrates you have mastered the paragraph skills taught in Basic Composition. Submit it by uploading it to Turnitin.com.

Demonstrate your ability to write in-text citations by including brief quotations (several words or phrases, rather than several complete sentences) from at least two different sources (such as the catalog description of your major, the syllabus for this class, or a paper you wrote for another class) that support your main idea.

Use this template to get you started:

I am asking for a personal statement that tells me something I don't already know.

I am asking you to demonstrate your ability to cite two outside sources in MLA style. (This is an important skill that I'd like you to master sooner rather than later.)
