Students who learn how to
write well will earn better grades in most classes. This
is true because most instructors assign a variety of written
assignments, and depending on the class, these written assignments
often encompass a large percentage of a student’s final
grade. For instance, all college students seeking a degree
will be required to take a composition class. In this class
alone, students will write five different essays. Furthermore,
other classes, such as history, psychology, nursing, etc., also
require students to write multiple essays. According to
John Doe, a Professor of English at Aims Community College, the
average undergraduate student will write twenty-five different essays
while seeking a bachelor’s degree. This number increases
dramatically for students who go on to seek a graduate degree(s). Because
all students, regardless of major, will be required to compose
a large number of essays, it is important that they learn how
to write well.
