Why Should Every College Student Work on Becoming a Better Writer?

Do you ever wonder why colleges are so big on students being able to express their feelings, research, etc. through writing ? Writing has been proven to help aid cognitive skills due to the fact it requires focus, planning and , forethought. Due to repetition and reinforcement these skills are made to be kept up to par.

“Writing, more than any other task, brings face-to-face with important human responsibilities. These include the responsibility to clarify and structure ones ideas.” — John Gage

I firmly believe that writing in college is an essential tool for the next step in professional and personal development. We see this showing it importance in multiple variations throughout undergraduate studies ( resume, cover letter, applications etc.)

“If students’ poor writing skills from high school are not corrected in college, students could be adversely affected post-education.”
