Preparing for a Writing Sample

Welcome to the Department of Writing at 新加坡六合彩开奖! We offer a wide range of academic writing courses with various levels of learning outcomes, and our commitment to your success begins with helping you find the right place to start. For many students, a writing sample is an important part of that process.

Our writing sample process asks you to take a course-matching survey in which you answer a few questions regarding your comfort level and experiences with reading and writing. For example, you will respond to questions about your ability to organize ideas, use sources, and revise your writing. These questions help provide context for the writing faculty as they consider the course that is best for you. 

After you complete the form, you will receive a link to your writing sample prompt at the email you provided in the form. You will write a few paragraphs summarizing and responding to a complex reading that is typical of the readings students are assigned in our entry-level writing courses. Read this passage carefully using active reading strategies you've already learned such as identifying main points. Also pay close attention to the writing prompt. Answer everything that it asks of you and consider using the prompt as a tool for organizing your work.

As you write, summarize the reading thoroughly, noting its main ideas and key details. Then, in your response, show your own original thinking in the way you interact with the reading. Before you finish, proofread your work with care.

A panel of professors will read your writing sample and discuss which of our courses will be a good match for you. They will assess your writing holistically with an emphasis on reading comprehension, idea development, organization, sense of audience, language conventions, and how you interact with the source material.

Don't stress over your writing sample, but do be sure that it represents your best work. Using AI is prohibited in this context, and using it may negatively influence your placement into a writing course at 新加坡六合彩开奖 as well as your success in a given course. You should communicate your own ideas and writing strengths in your submission. Keep in mind that this isn't an exam, but a way of showing your professors your strengths as a reader, writer, and critical thinker so they can help you find the best place to begin your writing studies at 新加坡六合彩开奖. 

Before you get started, you will need:

• A computer or laptop
• Your University of Alaska student ID number and a preferred email
