    Rosenwasser and Stephen’s “Fourteen Short Takes on Writing And Writing Process” contain a variety of helpful tips for writing a strong and clear college essay. Banking, one of the fourteen ‘topics’, stood out the most for me, mainly but I have personally experienced this problem countless times in a classroom setting. Most of the incidences happen when the teacher becomes impatient with the class. Instead of leading a discussion where the students are in control of their own ideas, the teacher would push along and accidentally dissuade thinking. Banking is essentially the concept of math, where there is a single input and a single output, which doesn’t allow for much thought or critical thinking. As Rosenwasser and Stephen noted, “being able…

    This class has been an interesting class this semester. I never dreamed of actually having to take a writing class. When my advisor told me there was going to be a Comp one class and also a Comp two class that I had to take I was worried. I have learned so many things about correctly writing over this semester that it is very insightful now. I will always be the reader, not the writer but that ok because I have had a wonderful Comp teacher that has helped me more than I could have dreamed. I…

    Transfer or transition, as noted, is a key issue for TPW classes; students must adapt their academic writing skills to a new rhetorical situation, writing in the workplace. There is little doubt about the differences between academic and workplace writing—multiple studies in TPW have characterized these differences and promoted pedagogies to support students in the transition process. In one example, Flower and Ackerman (1994) described the difference between academic and workplace writing as…

    scared me the most was having to write these long and complicated essays I had always heard other college students talk about. In high school writing was not really stressed; therefore, I felt quite unprepared and afraid to attempt a college level English course. As I walked into my freshman, fall semester English class I remember thinking “okay, these people don’t look like geniuses either, so I can do this.” Then came our first major writing assignment and I didn’t really believe it to be…

First, we will look at the all the different writing type that was given to me throughout the year. The first things we have are the group essays.

    Writing has been a part of my life for a long time. Growing up through elementary school writing short fiction stories to writing biographies in junior high to research papers and essays in high school. I haven’t ever really sat down to think about how far I have come as a writer, but when I finally did I realized the mountains I’ve climbed from starting out as a writer in my childhood. A lot of people overlook the importance of basic writing skills, myself included, but writing is the…

    My motivation for writing can be purely out of boredom, if something interesting has happened to me, or anything and everything in-between. Nonetheless, I prefer to write informational, persuasive and argumentative essays, and editorials rather than pieces that are more focused on me or a certain character, such as narrative essays. Although writing has given me a freeing creative outlet, it can also turn stressful. This is because writing, in my opinion, is meant to be inspired and innovative,…

    IRE My writing career has consisted of write a subpar essay, turn it in, pass the class, repeat. Honestly, I dreaded taking this course, so I pushed it off to my sophomore year. However, my preconceived ideas about my lack of writing abilities were proved untrue. Not until this year, did I actually care about the topics I was writing about. It’s nice to have the opportunity to enjoy the writing process. For both papers, I had to work on organization of my paragraphs; for paper two, I focused on…
