To “negotiate your own writing goals and audience expectations regarding conventions of genre, medium, and rhetorical situation”.
Because this is a beginner-level class, as in I didn’t even know that there was a specific way to write for the sciences, and I am learning these topics in this way for the first time, I don’t expect my audience to know everything because I didn’t know a lot about this before I took this class. So, as my goal is to expand my knowledge through every assignment and make my writing more effective for a scientific audience, I expect that my audience will take my level in mind while reading. I expect that my audience will be in the scientific community and be comfortable with using media such as this one.
