As someone who has been using words longer than the average undergraduate student, I think my expectations from the course are slightly different than most. Because I have been creating documents in the work world for a rather long time, I expect to become reacquainted with standard business documents, and I expect to learn current trends in technical writing as well as aspects I have not encountered. I also expect to learn about any tired and clichéd techniques that I currently use and need to retire as I move forward in my professional career. Likely I will need to divest myself of some bad habits as I go through this course as well.
I have expectations of myself and my fellow classmates too. I expect to work in and provide a respectful, professional, and collegial environment for everyone involved with this course. Should drama of any type arise, I expect each and every one of us to be patient, tolerant, and kind, yet no-one should be allowed to be disrespected or to shoulder issues that are not theirs to resolve.
I expect to be successful in this course as long as I put the effort in. I expect to put in sufficient effort to produce product that my classmates and I can be proud of. The corollary to that is that I expect my classmates to be as invested in this process as I am, and make a similar effort to mine.
