Diagnostic Essay

Hi and welcome!

Before we do anything, even discuss requirements and syllabi, we need to determine, like a doctor might, your writing diagnosis.

Please respond to the following prompt in an essay that contains a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Is college just a means to an end, or are there other benefits to attending?

When you have completed your essay you are finished for the day. Please turn it in to me, and have a safe evening.
