Week 8 Reading and Writing

     I still find navigating through all the different sites a little frustrating because different pieces of information are all in different places. A lot of the bigger projects or assignments don’t sync with Canvas and show on the “to-do” list so it takes some extra work to keep everything organized and finish on time. Having the extra credit available is helpful.  English has always been my strongest subject yet I seem to be struggling with this subject the most this semester.      Just staying organized will help with the rest of the semester as well as taking advantage of any and all extra credit available to make up for missing assignments or missed opportunities.
