How do I perform this complex integration?

Evaluate the complex integration $(z^2 + 3z)$ wrt $z$ along the circle $|z| = 2$, from $(2,0)$ to $(0,2)$ in a counterclockwise direction.
As far as I understand, this can be solved by taking $x = 2 cos theta$, $y = 2 sin theta$, and then integrating wrt $theta$ from $0$ to $π/2$.
But on making these substitutions, the integration becomes quite lengthy and clumsy.
Is there any other way to solve this, which I might be missing right now?

Try a contour integral, using (0,0) to (2,0) and (0,2) to (0,0) as additional sides. and note that the contour integral has no poles.

On your circle, $z=2e^{it}$, $0leq tleqpi/2$. Then your integral is (never forget to include the change of variable, $dz=2ie^{it},dt$)
begin{align}
int_0^{pi/2} ((2e^{it})^2+6e^{it}),2ie^{it},dt
&=2iint_0^{pi/2}(4e^{3it}+6e^{2it}),dt
=2ileft[ left.frac{4e^{3it}}{3i}+frac{3e^{2it}}{i}right|_0^{pi/2}right]\ \
&=-frac {8i}3-6-frac83-6=-frac {44}3-frac {8i}3.
