What do College Professors Want from Incoming High School Graduates? | the becoming radical
HT @HollyChesser
-
To offer a negative to the opening question, just as art professors at the college level do not want students who have done only paint-by-number, college professors who ask students to write do not want students who can write only canned essays and students who believe “never use ‘I’” or “don’t start sentences with ‘and.’”
-
As writers, then, students need ample experiences in high school with choice—choosing what texts they read and then choosing what types of writing they produce.
-
And here, I note, is the key quality college professors want from students in all aspects of academics (and life), including writing: Students who are purposeful, thoughtful, and autonomous. Too often the best students approach professors with “What do you want?” instead of having the background and confidence to make their own informed decisions.
