Writing In College: The Way One Calommunicate

First and foremost writing has always been a bit of a challenge for me. My writing in high school was mostly regarding essays about a book I was assigned to read and analyze. I've noticed that there's a difference between my writing in high school and the essays i've wrote so far in college. My writing in college seems to be far more formal and includes complex wording. My writing in college tends to be longer than most essays i wrote in high school and far more detailed.

In “How Do I Write a Text for College” (The World is a Text, 2006), Patty Strong said that writing in in college is much more different than writing in high school and so as the purpose of it. In high school student were told to write texts depending on their prior knowledge while on an institution of higher education students have the flexibility to write not only about what they already learnt but what they are trying to learn. In addition, writing in college requires a higher level of critical thinking and understanding, but it will unequivocally expand their knowledge.

In “Expectations for College Writing,” the author indicates the importance of thinking and communicating to succeed after college. A writer’s style acknowledges a social or academic expression. A writer’s skill to rationalize ideas and think critically demonstrates an essential technique for enhancing communication in the work environment.

Writing is a skill that will help you succeed, regardless of your future. College students having to take writing courses makes them become the best writers they can possibly be. Some students feel that college writing classes should not be mandatory. Taking a college writing class broadens your education, perspective, and increases intelligence. A big part of college writing is the teachings of the literate arts.

Why do some college freshmen find it harder to write an essay in college than in high school?” College freshmen usually struggle with the transition from high school writing to college writing. They do not know that the writing in college has a lot of differences. They also do not know that college writing has different rules. These students get confused with these rules. There are many other reasons cause these struggles. There are different styles in writing, for example: In college writing in college need to be done with at least two pages or more unlike in high school which takes four to six paragraphs. As a first-year student and English is my second language, I am really struggling to write a paragraph, spending hours to finish

The importance of college-level writing is a topic that is very much backed up and accompanied by facts and studies. Writing in the college-level is needed in order to master college work in any class. Basically all classes require you to more than likely submit some kind of research paper or essay. Writing for Learning to Improve Students’ Comprehension at the College Level by Fahad Alharbi as well as Luiza Costa Ribeiro, Writing Essays at College: Why it’s Important both go into detail on how important writing at this level is and all the skills learned for during and after college. As well on how you can benefit from them.

Being successful in anything in life is not easy; it requires one to have “habits of mind.” So what are “habits of mind”? As claimed by an article by the Council of Writing Program Administrators, National Council of Teachers of English, and National Writing Project “Framework For Success in Postsecondary Writing” states that habits of mind are different factors that one can approach “learning that are both intellectual and practical.” Habits of mind are essential for one to be successful in college writing and they are developed inside and outside class; they “help students succeed in a variety of fields and disciplines” (Council of Writing Program Administrators, et. al.). There are in total eight habits of mind; those eight habits include: curiosity, openness, engagement, creativity, persistence, responsibility, flexibility, and metacognition. To be successful in college writing, you must not have only one habit of mind; it requires a combination of habits of mind that are essential for one to succeed. The habits of mind are developed through experiences academic, personal, or a combination of both that were throughout the course. For example, the summer course English 100 required me to have a combination of at least three habits of mind to succeed in that class. Three out of the eight habits of mind led me to improve on my writing which furthermore led me to thrive in college writing. Those three habits of mind that were most crucial for me to be successful in English

Walking into the college writing room for the first time, I was hopeful of learning new skills and more about myself as a writer. Not only did I learn new skills, but overall a better understanding of how I write and how I edit. I still have my disorganizing writing style of a chunk writer, but now I know that having a simple outline can cut out hours of trying to paste the paper back together, trying to make sure it flows correctly. Instead of the old way of writing, I found a better way that still works for me. It’s much more efficient, especially of the deadlines that come faster than they seem. Writing in a classroom never worked well for me, but College Writing allowed me to experiment with what environment worked the best. I found out writing in low-lit library early in the morning with my headphones playing Cello Concerto No. 1 in A Minor op. 33 by Saint-Saëns kept me focused on my goals..

When I graduated high school, I already knew that I wanted to attend college other than going to the work force. I heard stories about college being fun and it is one of the greatest accomplishment a person can achieve. So, I began college right after high school. As I entered college, I learned that I will have to focus more on writing papers than having fun. In high school my teachers did not prepare me for college essays. I feel like I learned a lot more failing on my college writing assignment than passing on the essays in high school. Well now I have approached the end of the semester of college, and I am exhausted from the constant writing assignments. Although the assignments were difficult like I said it was also helpful. Each assignment helped me in different ways. The assignments helped me improved with my grammar, time management, and how to process before I begin writing. In English 1010 I had different types of writing assignments. I had to write a literacy narrative paper, analysis paper, research paper, and lastly an autoethnography paper which I am doing now. An autoethnography is when the author uses self reflects to write about their experiences about writing a paper. English is not the only subject that I had writing assignments in. I also had to write assignment in my business class. My English teacher had informed me that I will have to do an autoethnography. So, I used my paper in my business class to reflect on how I write by

When it comes to college level writing and how many sentences should be in a paragraph, I personally keep mine to about 5 to 7 sentences per paragraph. As a writer, the goal is to get the point across as clearly as possible. What has been most beneficial to most writers is by cutting down on extra or unneeded words; also another technique used is grammar techniques and correct vocabulary usage.

College writing to me is a new chapter in my life. I am only a junior in high school, which means I have quite a ways to go when it comes to learning and maturing as a person. As I take on this new chapter I expect to see my writing change along with me, for I’ll have new experiences and feelings to put forth in my writing.

Writing is a part of everyday life. Almost everything you do requires you to write, whether it’s an essay, notes, interviews, and tests or exams. Being a college student requires a lot of writing.

Why is improving your ability to write important to your college education? Writing is just one way that we as humans are able to communicate with the world around us but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. In fact written communication is atleast in my opinion is equally as important as oral communication “unclear, garbled, or poorly written papers could result in your message being misunderstood or worse, you might not be taken seriously by your readers if your writing style is ineffective or doesn’t make any sense. The inability to write clearly and effectively communicate through the written word will most likely have a negative impact on your success in college. Why you ask?

That is unless you decide to become a better writer. It doesn’t stop at college either, most employers consider it an essential job skill one of which could hold you back in your career if you're terrible at it. think about it, how do most businesses communicate?

I remember when I first asked my friend Tyron how his first college English course was for him and I’ll never forget his answer. He went on and on about how much he hated the course and how much he disliked writing, but I remember his last statement, he said throughout the stress and the pain the course without a doubt made him a better writer. Name and Tyron are complete opposites, he hates the course and I on the other hand love the course. In this written piece I will explain to you how the first half of English 131 help me to become a more enhanced writer.
