11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.

Petrie worked his way up to being a professor at an university. By doing that he was able to see how the athletes were treated within the university system. The ethos would be that he is an English professor of student athletes. Petrie was a professor to some of the college athletes and the athletic department wanted progress reports. Petrie says, “The athletic department might actually be more concerned with athletes’ eligibility than with their academic work” (3).
This can impact marketing planning in good and bad ways if students tell examiners what they think about the college so it all depends on what the students think. Validity The college uses both internal and external methods of research to collect information about their college. The college would take surveys from students to know how they can improve their college also they would have student representatives in each course department the reason for this is so that the students get to speak openly with their representatives and give their view on college for example is the college safe for them and do they enjoy the college. The Validity affects the college accurately if the college is able to make use of the student’s comments and views and are able to make changes. If the data collected from is inaccurate then the
Is the evidence “tinted” by the way the writer presents or discusses it (An article in a scientific journal might list raw numbers along with formulas, ideally providing objective information . Informal essays, cast in the writer’s voice, may intentionally or unintentionally suggest an attitude towards the information that sways the reader.) Clearly, some of these subjects may overlap. If you see connections between the questions, you are doing well. Focus, however, on responding to one prompt.
Back to School as an Adult Charity M. Gill Bryant and Stratton College ENGL101: Applied Writing #2 Process Analysis Mrs. Carolyn Spinner October 2, 2011 The thought process that anyone goes through in deciding to go back to college after the high school or college age requires a look back in time, a steady gaze towards the future and a serious reality check. There are a lot of good reasons to increase your education, such as having a more fulfilling career, being able to provide for loved ones and having the respect of others who have earned a college degree. It sounds a little frightening to the average adult who has children, job and life experiences outside of the school environment to embark on a journey to education especially
Another reason is because my cousin can show me the ropes, as a recent graduate from the school. So if I was to need help with anything she would know a lot more than I do so I wouldn't be lost like most freshmen are their freshman year at a new school. Then I had some friends that came along with me to college. Those coming along to college with me help me feel comfortable because I wouldn't have to be alone. Then another reason is we can all work together and help each other whenever it’s needed.
“Only Connect…” The Goals of a Liberal Education What does it mean to be a liberally educated person? It seems William Cronon such a simple question, especially given the frequency with which colleges and universities genuflect toward this wellworn phrase as the central icon of their institutional missions. Mantra-like, the words are endlessly repeated, starting in the glossy admissions brochures that high school students receive by the hundreds in their mailboxes and continuing right down to the last tired invocations they hear on commencement day. It would be surprising indeed if the phrase did not begin to sound at least a little empty after so much repetition, and surely undergraduates can be forgiven if they eventually regard liberal education as either a marketing ploy or a shibboleth. Yet many of us continue to place great stock in these words, believing them to describe one of the ultimate goods that a college or university should serve.
Though it was overwhelming, when classes started I had a chance to make actual connections with people and make new friends. Shockingly, some of the best friends I have made in college aren’t even in my classes, but are people who live on my floor and have similar interests, hobbies, and morals as me. Comparing now the friends I have made in high school to the friends I have made in college, I could and would leave many of my high school friends behind. The friends I have made in college support me and have changed me for the better. High school is, and always will
Having a college degree will give my family security in the future so I can keep providing them the life they deserve. Let’s talk about my personal learning style. When we talk about learning styles, we usually discuss three general categories: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. The majority of people will use a mix of different learning styles but will prefer one in particular. I utilized two different online questioners from the three choices given to me, helping me understand what style I prefer or suits me better.
