I agree with you 100%, and I am boggled that they don't do this. When I started uni I had to take a class like that too. Skillful writing will only come with a lot of hard work, obviously, but they should be able to avoid some of the basic issues!
So many of them really don't know how to structure an argument. I tried to help them, I did :( I even workshopped their ideas in class and tried to help them figure out how to phrase them as good arguments!

But this was not a writing course...

Problem to is that I had to take two English classes in college. They were both incredibly useless. English 101 was supposed to focus on arguments, but as someone who was incredibly liberal going to school in a conservative community (but it was a state school, so pretty diverse otherwise) I ended up not learning anything and only listening to them spout off about religion and the class ended up frustrating me more than anything else. (What do you mean we are arguing about evolution? YOU MEAN PEOPLE BELIEVE IN CREATIONISM? WHAT?)

And English 102 was about poetry. I really could have learned how to write a technical brief, not how to analyze a poem.
