Write a 250-500 word reflection essay about your plan to meet the objectives of the course. Discuss objectives that you feel will be
most challenging for you:

Practice makes perfect is one of the maximum essential for me to reach the course outcomes. Therefore, I am going to make lists of plan to meet my

course objectives:

o I should reflect with all my effort the material and then seek out the available sources which could assist me at some point in the process. 

o And looking for assistance/help is every other key to achievement too. I recognize that I am now not good at all on the steps above, however I

know I can make a significant effort on my part to make change.

o Training myself to live, observe the guidelines and the principles which can be taught in the class, within the institution.

o Gaining knowledge of the lesson materials well is any other way to reach my goals. 

o Practicing and doing all of the course outcomes each week and repeating them as necessary might be any other notice that I must do. 

Nevertheless, once I see my proficiencies at the course outcomes, it seems like I need to make a good effort to do as it is necessary to take over the

basic study techniques such as reading comprehension, marking and reviewing notes.

I assume that there are some challenging course outcomes that I am afraid of:

 Builds an effective persuasive argument, considering the rhetorical situation.

 Writes informative, analytical, in-depth exposition.

I simply feel that it may be tough for me, but I personally think that I am going to be motivated with the intention of learning new knowledge and be

willing to overcome challenges that will most likely come across while studying.
