· Home
While many homes have word processors on their computers, word processing in the home tends to be educational or business related, dealing with assignments or work being completed at home. Some use word processors for letter writing, résumé creation, and card creation. However, many of these home publishing processes have been taken over by desktop publishing programs such as http://www.answers.com/topic/adobe-pagemaker, which is better suited for these types of documents.

Education
Many schools have begun to teach typing and word processing to their students, starting as early as elementary school. Typically these skills are developed throughout secondary school in preparation for the business world. Undergraduate students typically spend many hours writing essays. Graduate and doctoral students continue this trend, as well as creating works for research and publication. These manuscripts are often in excess of 200 pages, and are typically the defining point of a student's

    Brief Assignment 1: Pre-Semester Diagnostic - Adame Zriouli

    Truth be told, it’s been a few years since the last time I walked into a writing extensive course like English 1302. The last time that I sat in front of a computer, and slaved away for hours trying to create the perfect paper was in 2011, during my first semester at Texas Tech. It was English 101, and people had that it’s a class that I should not take lightly, but of course I thought I knew better. Let’s just say that I figured out, I was not the greatest writer in the world after all, but high school definitely made me think I was. Before I entered into my first semester of college level English, it was not unordinary for me to write a paper that received applause from teachers all the way through senior year. I wrote essays on books, such as the “The Great Gatsby” to critically breaking apart poems. One assignment that I remember vividly was my critical summary over Robert Frost’s Poem, “The Road Less Traveled”. Alas, those easy days are gone. Most of my time now is spent typing up emails to staff and teachers. Since I have been enrolled at Texas Tech, I have worked in Texas Tech’s School of Law in the Administrative Office. Much my work is behind a screen typing up emails. It has taught me a lot, so I feel as though I’ve become pretty proficient when it comes to writing up formal messages or relaying information in a professional way. I believe that I have a decent amount of experience when it comes to my writing abilities, and hopefully that will continue to grow throughout my time in this class.…

    College Writhing Analysis

    Many professors may think that a concurrent senior coming out of high school like me cannot have the skills needed to succeed in college-level writing; however, after taking Composition I and II in the fall and spring of my Senior year, I believe I can write well thought and crafted college level essays. While I have strengthened some areas of writing more than others, I have learned and acquired many important concepts and techniques and incorporated them into my writing. By taking Composition I and II, I believe that I have developed the required skills and ideologies to succeed in college-level writing. Although a college level paper should demonstrate an understanding of tone, style, cohesion,…

    Common Core Thesis

    Kopke, Lisa K. Hawkins, Gary A. Troia, and Natalie G. Olinghouse inform teachers about the role of writing in Common Core curriculum and offer advice for its implementation. They first highlight the importance of writing in relation to professional success, and discuss the current lack of students with passable writing skills, observing that Common Core does not sufficiently emphasize writing. The authors next provide strategies to remedy this problem, and close by stressing that they hope the Common Core is not perceived as difficulty but as an opportunity for professional development. The authors’ emphasis on students’ writing skills in relation to Common Core requirements engages the readers’ sympathy with their dilemma. Mo et. all base their suggestions on the ideas, work, and research of many researchers and scholars before them, lending credibility to their article. Before reading this article, I had no idea Common Core’s minimum requirements barely address things like peer reviews and keyboarding, and cursive. I now have a better understanding of the effects of Common Core on English classes, and am left wondering how other subjects are…

    An Analysis Of Donald M. Murray's Writing

    Donald M. Murray writes that there is a big difference when it comes to students writing for their classroom and professional writers finishing a first draft. First of all, professional writers do write as their job, and they know that their first draft will go through many edits before it is published. Some may even give their first draft but not even be accepted or published at all. In this case, if a writer’s draft of a book or essay is not even accepted, that person then must then come up with new ideas or come up with a new edit of their own before sending back a first draft again. The purpose of a writer is to keep on writing and always improving. As for students, they may not even be majoring in English or writing itself. They might…
