How do you think writing for college courses will differ from the kind of writing you have done in the past?

Answer 1

Your question is a good one, shakallemilam.

If you have been writing frequently in high school, and taking honors or AP courses, and if you have been doing well with those assignments, then you will find writing in college quite similar. You may even be surprised at the accolades you receive!

I have a feeling that your writing skills are already well-honed, and that you are prepared for any writing assignment someone could dish out. :-)

Answer 2

My thoughts are that once you reach college you are graded mostly on content because by that time you've learned all the grammar you are going to learn and professors just have to accept where your writing is grammatically considering the fact your not going to find any English teachers in college who teaches you that a noun goes before a verb that is something you should have learned in grammar school so at that point you either know it or you don't and that is the difference college writing is based solely on content where as grammar school and high school writing is usually based on both grammar and content. Does that make sense?

Answer 3

The only difference is who your professor is. I've had a professor that made it as easy as it could be. I've also had a professor that made it near impossible to reach a "C" grade. You just have to ask around campus on who the most laid back professors are and try to enroll early enough to get into their classes.

Answer 4

Kids who grew up typing into computers will rule the world. They won't know that capital letters ever existed, or what punctuation is, or how to write a coherent paragraph.
