Expect When You’re Expecting: What to Expect in a College Writing Course

You love Writing, Mathematics, and Science. You are undecided. You do not know which college course you are going to take. Will you take a Writing course such as Literature or Creative Writing? Or Electronic and Communications Engineering? Or Physics?

Here’s what you have to consider. Pick the course that is really close to your heart. If writing is your passion, then without any hesitation, choose a college writing course.

 
In case you decided to take a writing course, here are the things you have to expect:

• Usually, writing courses in colleges have two main types- expository writing and research paper composition. In the first type, you will be required to write five various types of essays including comparison/contrast, causal analysis, and more. In the second type, students have to write a 2 research papers due before midterm and a week before finals.
• There are some colleges which require students enrolled in writing courses to write 5-6 essays a week. This is a form of training for the students to enhance and improve their writing skills.
• Attendance is very important. If in highschool, you have made 2 or 3 absences, college is totally different. Missing more than 3 classes will definitely affect your grade and performance.

Expect that in a writing course, you will eat essays for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you can’t take this, perhaps Physics or ECE is the right course for you.
