- Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) October 12, 2011 - Academic Writing Issues Today
Students often find it difficult to manage time effectively when they have to write an English paper. All they know is read the essay prompt, write the paper, add the required number of reference sources, type the paper, add citation references, "check for grammar," and print it. In fact, both students and professors alike have adopted these methods for meeting the requirements of classroom and final writing assignments.
Students also struggle with understanding what a professor wants. The professor's job is simply to teach students about concepts that underlie the English discipline, which include the principles of literature, writing, and teaching. Sometimes this goal becomes the only focus of the professor, which contributes to the disconnect with the student. In essence, the professor becomes an information resource versus a mentor capable of demonstrating the practical aspects of writing and revising English essays.
When asked why a writing handbook on margin comments is important for today's students, CEO and Chief Instructional Designer Regina Y. Favors of Favors Learning Center states, "Professors need to adopt practical methods for teaching revision that include helping students apply margin comments during the process of revising academic essays. In the same vein, students need to develop better time-management skills by creating a schedule for implementing the revision process. Only then will both parties collaborate effectively in fully developing the academic essay. That's why we believe The FAVORS Glossary will be a central resource for both professor and student."
About the eBook
The FAVORS Glossary: Guide to Using Margin Comments for Revising Academic Essays is an academic writing companion textbook that provides a lengthy exploration of the revision process. It comprises a list of popular feedback comments professors write within the margins of student essays. The glossary grows from a primary concern for college students who struggle with the process of revising academic papers and applying margin comments during the revision process. It serves as a comprehensive solution to bridge the communication gap between English professors and students of writing and research papers. It answers the question, "What does my professor mean by this?"
