:?8GK?GI@: William Zinsser, author of several books on writing, claims, “The act of writing gives the teacher a window into the mind of the student.”1 In other words, your writing provides tangible evidence of how well you think and how well you understand concepts related to the courses you are taking. Your writing might also reveal a good sense of humor, a compassion for the less fortunate, a respect for family, and many other things. Zinsser reminds us that writing is not merely something that writers do; it is a basic skill for getting through life. He claims that far too many Americans cannot perform useful work because they never learned to express themselves.

Lj`e^=i\\ni`k`e^kf;`jZfm\i N_XkPflNXekkfJXp Writing expert Peter Elbow asserts that it’s impossible to write effectively if you simultaneously try to organize, check grammar and spelling, and offer intelligent thoughts to your readers.2 He argues that it can’t all be done at once, mainly because you use the right—or creative—side of your brain to create thoughts, whereas you use the left—or logical—side for grammar, spelling, organization, and so forth. 1William Zinsser, On Writing Well (New York: Harper Resource 25th Anniversary Edition, 2001). 2Peter

Elbow, Writing without Teachers (New York: Oxford University Press, 1973).
