THE "I HATE TO WRITE" GUIDE TO COLLEGE LEVEL ESSAYS: THE BASIC ESSAY
So here you are having made the gigantic decision to go to college, whether that means to earn a certificate, a two-year Associates degree, or a four-year Bachelor degree. There is just one problem. You hate to write and college classes require papers – sometimes lots of them! When you were in high school you dreaded doing any required essay and felt you did lousy on them. Well, maybe your grade was lousy and that set you up to hate writing anything.
Could also be that your various teachers spoke "academic" and thus you never made the connection between what they thought they were telling you and what sank in – what you actually understood.
Unfortunately, college classes require the writing of a lot of essays. They also require you to take core classes (to expand your mind, introduce you to various things, make you a well-rounded person), of which English Composition is always on the list...and for more than a single quarter or semester, too!
You'll have to write essays in not only English Composition but in numerous other courses that you have no interest in but are stuck taking if you want that degree. In the future you will be writing in the workplace because that and a college degree of nearly any sort go hand-in-hand, so sigh and get used to the idea that writing is now a part of your world. Welcome to the 21st century.
Rethinking the idea of getting a degree now? Don't. Believe me, you want that degree, and more importantly, YOU CAN WRITE ESSAYS! You just need a little help.
Whenever possible the use of those "academic" words will be avoided.
Like "thesis", for example. Why? Well, because even though I love to write, that word scares me, too! We'll take things step-by-step and possibly come up with some short cuts or set ups you can use in building an essay.
And having said that, let me add that the "I Hate To Write" guides are primarily for those...
Who stared failure in the face every time they had to write an essay, and received the sad grades that seemed to prove failure was achieved (and that was never the goal, right?)
Who were glad to put all types of writing behind them when they left high school because they never intended to go to college and now find some sort of college degree is needed for the workplace or to advance within the workplace and that means having to write things again
Who haven't written anything – particularly an essay – in ten, twenty years or more (although they had passing grades for essays decades ago) but now will need to take up a pen again to work toward a new career in getting a college degree and feel rusty or unsure of what professors are going to expect in essays
If you recently shot out of high school trailing As and Bs or even C+s on essay assignments, chances are this won't tell you anything you don't already know.
What this book won't do is guarantee that you will get As or Bs on all the essays you write. Why? Because there are a lot of things that professors take into consideration when grading essays, and content and following instructions are major ones. While success rests entirely on your shoulders, I'll give you some hints on dealing with these things as well.
College is, after all, about gathering information – data – and thinking with it. This book is a guide to the presentation of that data and your work with it.
