Read Chapters 1 and 2 of The Transition to College Writing and respond to the following prompts.
1. Write one paragraph describing your academic preparation for college. You may want to consider some of the following questions: What was your high school like in comparison to others? What counted as learning in your high school? How did you demonstrate that learning?
2. Describe the kinds of writing you did in high school. What were the purposes of those writing assignments?
3. What are some strategies you plan to use to avoid procrastination and make the best use of your time given the scheduling freedoms you'll experience in college?
4. Since this class emphasizes demonstration of learning via application of principles and concepts rather than fact-based exams, write 2-3 sentences describing your note-taking strategy for this class. Reference ideas from Chapter 2 in your answer.
5. List three questions you thought of based on your reading of Chapter 2.
