After reading the course syllabus and the indicated sections from the text, I have a better feel for what this class will be about, however, that concept will continue to evolve as the course progresses.
The syllabus is meticulously done, and obviously a product of great time and effort. Though I found myself jumping from page to page, reading and re-reading sections to ensure clarity, I'm sure further and consistent use will acclimate me to its organizational structure. As it is now, I am simply following the deadline instructions explicitly, cross-referencing various sections where necessary, mostly the "Assignment Prompts" section.
The Concise Wadsworth Handbook will be a useful tool for me throughout my scholastic career. I am impressed with the book's scope. For instance, the section on how to design websites is not something I expected to find, but have always wanted to learn more about. Its been several years since I last did any serious writing, and the Handbook will serve as a handy reference to help recondition my writing skills.
I am glad to see that I already practice some of the habits described in "Ten Habits of Successful Students", such as time management. This skill, and some of the others, I have developed in previous professional and academic pursuits. Other habits mentioned in the article were solid reminders of behaviors that will help me achieve my goals in and out of school.
