Basic Writers' Expectations

It is difficult to imagine the experience of a Basic Writing student. Myself, I feel a firm, content control over my language. Not to have such control, or to feel discontent in my control however it be, must be the experience of the Basic Writer.


Expectations of the Basic Writer? As a Basic Writer, I suppose I might go to the Basic Writing course expecting first that I would learn more about English and writing in English, that I would grow as a writer--that I would find the tools to help me become a better writer. I would expect to find an instructor who is willing to assist my growth. I would expect that it would take a lot of time and effort, practice. I would expect to gain--most importantly--more control over my langauge.
