| I was just reading the book Making the Most of College by Richard J. Light. He's faculty at Harvard, so maybe i'll meet him. In his book he writes: "83 percent of undergraduates are required to hand in at least sixty pages of work, final draft, in an academic year. The sixty pages is a lower bound. A large fraction of students hand in well over a hundred pages" (58). |  |
Good thing these data exclude science concentrators... few... :)
I'm sure I'll still write a lot though. Yippee! I enjoy writing about things that interest me, so I'll just make sure that the courses I sign up for have cool assignments as well as interesting writing assignments if any.
I definitely want to get better at writing and communicating because I want to sell many of my own eBooks and published books over the internet and in book stores.
Since I am a very practical person, as long as i can make connections between course work and things outside of school, i'm happy. This is what Light recommends in his second chapter, 2 Powerful Connections.
