In-Class Writing Revisions

Many practicing engineers and scientists admit they spend at least half of their time writing memos and reports. On the contrary, the majority of college students going into business careers think their secretaries will ultimately do all of their writing for them. This attitude shows a naive faith in the competency of their secretaries; and young business people seldom have private secretaries in the first place. Moreover, students going into the technical or scientific fields often think that writing is something they seldom have to do. Therefore, many of them foolishly object to taking courses in writing because of their unrealistic that only poets and novelists have to write. Ultimately, in order for a person in any field to succeed, it is crucial that they know how to clearly express and articulate their ideas into words.
