Why Are Students Coming into College Poorly
Prepared to Write? created by ESSAY-ACADEMY.COM

All these skills have to be mastered completely
and should include
  • One of the essential skills of students on every
    level of education is writing. The process of
    writing involves a bunch of various skills.

3
  • ANALYTICAL COMPREHENSION
  • READING COMPREHENSION
  • WRITING SKILLS
  • planning a writing strategy
  • organizing ideas effectively
  • effectively marshaling evidence and using sources
    appropriately
  • communicating ideas clearly and concisely
  • constructing a reasoned, demonstrable argument
  • writing mechanics grammar, sentence structure,
    spelling, etc.

4
Writing Skills
  • These skills represent writing from various
    aspects and lacking only one of the skills can be
    very unsatisfactory.
  • For example, if a student does not have an
    ability to understand the main point of the text
    listening to it, he definitely cannot write a
    good response to the text.

5
Writing Skills
  • Reading and listening skills are very important
    components of writing!

6
Writing Skills
  • The problem of writing also has another
    educational aspect.
  • During previous years in school the students are
    required mostly to support and offer opinions,
  • which are relatively easy tasks if compared to
    that they are going to write in college.

7
Writing Skills
  • If they enter college or university, the papers
    they need to write are much more difficult.
  • They will require not only personal opinion of
    the writer but selecting the best of works in the
    subject area, prioritizing discoveries and use
    others to prove own point.

8
Writing Skills
  • For example, they are required to propose a
    complex solution, criticize a point of view of
    another writer, discover a problem and offer ways
    for resolving.
  • All these goals by students may be only achieved
    if supported by relevant works in the area.

9
The Goals of Writing
  • Furthermore, the students need to shape their
    writing to capture attention of other viewers and
    revise if necessary.
  • As survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education
    showed, more than a half of students that enter
    college have never written a paper that is longer
    than five pages.

10
The Goals of Writing
  • This suggests that many students do not have
    necessary skills set because they do not
    understand the complexity of college writing!

11
The Goals of Writing
  • In order to build a reasonable argument, you have
    to use works of other scientists, results from
    studies and personal observations.
  • Everything that is written should be supported.

12
Habits to Unlearn
  • Besides, students may have many bad habits that
    need to be un-learned in college.
  • For example, some students may use awkward
    grammatical instructions because they were told
    to avoid first person writing in school by their
    teachers.

13
Habits to Unlearn
  • It is fair to say that it is normal for a student
    to come to college and continue to improve his or
    her skills because college writing is a complex
    process that requires most of the knowledge and
    skills of young writers.

14
Habits to Unlearn
  • So all mentioned aspects are the reasons why
    school students have poor writing skills.
  • Be sure to improve your own abilities before you
    enter a college.
  • It is an important stage in life so you need to
    be prepared as much as you can.
