1) What do teachers expect from the writing students in class? What do students expect from the proffessors/teachers?

-D&W
In this article it is approached in writing to elaborate not all such perfect tone to have a bit of flavor in every writing piece, if it is an essay or article. In writing its not just about quoting the author but to make your point of it, for professors to see you actually understood the point or your own judgement. While writing you let others see what you noticed even if its false or true you make it interesting and convincing with voice!
When professors ask new comerers for an essay or paragraphs revolvinmg any topic, they expect us to know what college writing is about but in reality we don't realize that we write in order for like intro,body, and conclusion that's thee only way we have been taught for 12 years of school and for a sudden change it messes up how our writing evolves. What students get by their freshman year is all the helps given to us such as writing center and after "talk" with professors. that is when it becomes easier and we begin to research more to become open minded with writing. By then we are competent with the standards of writing and reading as well.

  2. Yes, at times we can be very analytical when we don't need to be. Writing essays isn't always a breeze at the beginning.
