what i want to learn from com 337

I expect to learn many things in this class. I mostly want to become a better writer. I am hoping this will enable me to become more effective in jornalism writing and writing in everyday life. I also would like to know various writing techniques and methods. I would also like to learn the different steps in the story making process and find which job may suite me best, should I get a job in that field.
I would expect to also learn about giving a good interview and asking appropiate questions that are relevant to the story. Also deciding what all should be included in the final story and what should be omitted. The editing process is also something I would like to learn more about. Making sure the appropiate word is used and also the grammar is done in the right way. Also, writing the words and speaking the words that will grab your attention and keep it are also things I would like to learn.
I would also like to be a more even handed and fair writer. It can be difficult for me to keep my opinion out of a story. I would like to learn how to use the writing techniques that would appeal to the masses and keep the people reading the story interested.
Another thing I would like to get out of this class is how to become a better team player and how to work well with others.
