Expectations for Advanced News Writing

My expectations for this class are fairly large scale. As an aspiring journalist, I am looking forward to gaining the skills and competency for my future career. I am very grateful for the opportunity to take this class because, after completing an academic internship for The Torch last semester, I realized how much I have to learn and how much I need to build on my past experiences to perfect my abilities as a competent journalist. I am really looking forward to seeing other classmates' work and learning from different perspectives as well and will do my best to approach this class with an open mind to learn as much as humanly possible.
