Write a description of Kean University's culture of writing. I suggested in class that you lurk around one another's blogs - and feel free to riff of ideas you find there. Report your impressions + experiences with what is expected for academic writing, how it is used, what is valued (and de-valued).
What is valued?
When an assignment is usually handed out, my classmate's facial expressions give it all away. There are two instances that take place: either they don't bother to pay any attention to the assignment handed out or they over analyze the document, asking tons of questions. There we have the careless students dreading the moment they will have to sit down and write this paper they know nothing of and could care less, and in contrast, we have the perfectionist, wanting to get right down to it and create the most artistic and innovative paper yet.
From personal experience, I must agree entirely with Karilyn, throughout the years of my college experience my writing has increased with a greater appreciation for the art of writing, rather than just making the grade. Although, there are times when the subject may get a bit boring and dull, which may then cause my writing to drag and at times jump off focus. That's the way it is, when the topic is uninteresting the writing becomes characterless.
