  • Writing is distinct from grammar and rhetoric, and most writing classes don't teach writing, they instead focus on grammar and rhetoric.

  • Core curriculums ensure essentials, but limit depth and advancement of thinking

  • Drilling students on grammar does not improve writing ability, students should instead be taught how to use grammar effectively

  • I thought the writing was meandering, rambly, and overly abstract. They never provide a clear definition of what good writing entails
