Introduction

Writing is not fun for me.  This is mostly due to my inexperience and inability to write well.  My last major writings occurred in my Freshman English class, which for me was over 4 years ago.  Being a Junior in a Science based major (Exercise Physiology), there have not been many writing assignments other than a few short essays here and there.  English classes in the past have never seemed very beneficial to me, partly due to my lack of attention and also the uninteresting teaching that was involved.  The instructor for my Freshman English was extremely boring and did not honestly give very much information that helped improve my writing.  In this class, I hope to continue to learn ways how to make myself a better writer.  Research will be an important type of writing I will need as I go further into my career and I would like to make sure I know the proper ways to research, pull relevant information, and cite in my papers.
