The Purpose for W131

When I first looked at the courses that were required for my degree of study at IUPUI, I quickly skipped over W131. I was never a big a fan of writing papers and was to excited to get into the classes that had to do with what I was studying. I told myself that I would just take it later in my college career when I had a slot to fill with a class that was required.

As I look back on that decision, I tend to regret it. I am now a third year student at IUPUI and I wish I had taken W131 my very first semester of college. Writing has become a huge factor in almost every class that I take and no matter what the subject matter. I don't believe that I have had a class that hasn't had some sort of written assignment to go along with whatever we are doing in the class. I agree with curriculum requiring a class like this. Even outside of my college career, I have had to write for important things in my life. I am constantly sending emails to clients that I do work for and I need them to sound as intelligent as I can so that I can continue to gain business from them

Overall I believe this class should remain as a required class for all fields and degrees. Writing is and will continue to be a part of our everyday lives from now until we die.
