Brainstorm your interests in academic writing and write about it in a short essay of 2-3 pages (typed, double-space, 2.5 cm. on all corners of the page) the following questions in any particular order or organization pattern (i.e., you don't have to answer each questions one-by-one).

1) Who are you? Where are you from? What is something unique about you?
2) Why are you in this class? Why are you interested in taking this course on academic writing?
3) What do you hope to learn in this class? What are your strengths? Your weaknesses?
4) What do you hope to share with/teach us in this class? (e.g., a particular skill on the computer or a teaching method...)

Thanks, and enjoy the class.
