Welcome
Welcome to my personal portfolio for Writing 45 section 33171 (8:00 am). Here I post blogs about everything that happens throughout the course.

Here is a picture of me on my last day of work as a basketball coach at the YMCA
As a camp counselor, I served as a mentor for many of the young campers.
Course Objectives
Here are some notable course objectives for the Writing 45 class:
​
-
Integrate primary and secondary sources according to their relevance and rhetorical efficacy within the Genre Analysis essay
-
Develop arguable claims about individual learning driven by metacognitive analysis of specific writing assignments and the student’s understanding of key course concepts
