#1 Researching/Writing Goals and Aspirations (freewrite, 10 minutes)

My goals and aspiration would be perfecting my research as well as writing skills. In time, I can utilize this skill set towards my field. If I am to go into Atmospheric Science and do some advance research in the field, I would undoubtedly need these skills to produce credible research papers so I can be a trusted and reputable scientist who knows exactly what he is talking about.

If I had to produce a research paper to get the grants I want to continue on my research, I would need to know how to communicate to other scholars of the field. Knowing how to write scholarly will help me get my points across to my peers and researching efficiently will help me look up reputable sources as effectively and efficiently as possible. This class will help combine writing and researching into numerous activities that you may have to do in your field of study.

That being said, I intend to do well in this class and learn as much as I possibly can. It never hurts to keep writing and writing to the point that it builds up writing skills because eventually it will come naturally to you. Same goes for research, as the The Craft of Research book says, almost 99% of the people in any profession will do some research at one point in time. In fact, researching is a HUGE part of our daily lives. Only this class will augment the researching abilities and take it a next step further – a scientific research to find answers or ask the right questions.
