On the text First-Year Composition Prepares Students for Academic Writing,Tyler Branson writes, “The reason for this, I think, is because of a particularly bad idea about writing and writing instruction, one that surprisingly hasn’t let up inthe past 40 years” (Branson 18). Paul G. Cook is his text First-Year Composition Should Be Skipped, describes a similar experience. He describes an encounter with a parent of a student andcomments, “it bugs me that first-year composition (FYC) gets lumped in as just another add-on to an already pricey purchase.” (Cook 24). Both authors started their pieces by telling a personal story in which they experienced a real-life situation that displays the misconception people, in general, have about of First-Year Composition class.

Comments

The pieces wrote by Tyler Branson and Paul G. Cook speak directly with my personal experience. Like the general public described by both authors, I had a misconception of what the First-Year Composition class meant before starting the course. My beliefs were not as pessimist as Paul G. Cook describes in his story. My initial perception was more aligned with Tyler Branson, in which I thought academic English classes would teach me a pre-set of rules I could apply across the board and, that I would magically become a good writer after finishing the course. My perspective has changed since I began taking English: Write and Rhetoric I. In my first weeks of Summer, my view about the class started to shift. I began to understand that there was no general rule to write well. By the end of the Summer A term, I was fully aware that the First-Year Composition class is essential in my academic life. So far, I have learned that I should adapt my writing pieces having in mind context, audience, and purpose. I am now better positioned to understand the vision argued by the authors
