Post 07: Compare and Contrast between academic writing in high school vs. college
When it comes to writing I believe both high school and college have the same approach when it comes to writing a academic paper. In High school writing is important, but not in the same way as college. In High school usually students are taught structure in a academic paper. Teachers usually will tell the students the assignment, how many words, how many pages etc, and give the breakdown on how the paper should flow. In college on the other hand professors want a little bit more from their students for example everything has to mean something and have support including your sources. College professors are to pull their students into having a more open mind to things.
I agree that in college, writing is much more free. It's weird to have come straight from being told how to set up your paper and how many paragraphs and such to having freedom to write just to get the point across.
ReplyDeleteHigh school writing is definitely way different from college writing. In college you basically just write to get to the point, in high school you have to follow certain guidelines and layouts to get a good grade.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this college gives you more freedom to write in just about any style. In high school you are to follow strict instruction your teacher just taught you while in college you are already expected to know which style to write.
