Does English 110 (and 220) actually prepare you for all of your college writing in the future?

Answer 1

It really depends on what you take. While the general approach you would learn would serve you in all courses, the style of writing you use would differ. I teach business, and I know that we are often frustrated when students try to write flowery papers instead of the concise businesslike reports we need from them.

Answer 2

YES!!!!!!!! i don't care if you take biology or government or art, you will have to write a paper that will be graded based on the fact that you have taken such a course and have done well. Don't think that because it's not an english paper that it won't be graded like one. you will write more than you think.

Answer 3

it depends on colleges. in high school, they made us write on the college level from 10th grade on. when i got to college, it was the same thing. they are sticklers on format and not so much content until you get to a more advanced english. my english 320 class was easy peazy, also. i would focus on format then worry about content. they want everything by the book-references, lettering, apa or mla style, cover sheet, then they want tons of sources.

Answer 4

if you're a good writer already, then no. i'm an english major and took a 100-level because it was 'suggested' and it was SUCHHH a waste of time.

Answer 5

it depends
