This is all true, especially your first point. Here in Florida, freshmen students are at a particular disadvantage when it comes to writing essays because the FCAT formula that has been drilled into them doesn't in any way prepare them for even intro-level college writing. They basically have to almost completely relearn from scratch how to write essays, which is hard on everyone involved and eats up time that could otherwise be used to learn actual course-related material. It's a frustrating system, and just goes to show why I could never be a teacher. I simply did not inherit my dad's patience in that area. He considers himself to be too forgiving, but thinking about it like this, I wonder if that's always such a bad thing. Hmm.

At any rate, there are usually some pretty well-written and interesting papers in each class, often by students willing to write outside their religious comfort-zones and do research about faiths other than their own. My favorites tend to be the ones focused on Spirited Away (which dad shows in his classes every semester) or Small Gods (which is recommended reading for the course).
