If I want to be successf ul, I need to be able to use different sources and prevailing technology to comp ose these papers. I chose this class instead of the other two writing classes be cause I already know how to write a paper. What I need is the knowledge to find information relevant to the subject. So yes, I need this class so I have materia l to write about in the next 4 years and so I can worry about the class I am lea rning and not about writing the papers.
