Hard Time Writing Under Stress On College Students

Decent Essays
Professor Christiansen
Thank you, I am trying really hard on these assignments, it looks like I may be relying on these assignments to get me thru this class. Since I have been taking the test I have found out that I am not able to retain the information I just read like I used to. I had a hard time with exam #1 and I have discovered I have a hard time writing under pressure and I can not type very fast. Started to think I was to old for this, but I do not intend to give up.

Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…
