More about Fall 2012:
 
Our assessment of the student papers that did not meet the writing-related SLOs revealed the following primary areas of weakness.  For each course, the most widespread problem is listed first.

In ESL 181RW, the most common problems were these:
  • incomplete sentences / sentence structure
  • length of writing (less than 150 words on the assigned topic)
  • plagiarism (due to some students having access to the reading while writing their papers; some teachers did not follow the prescribed procedure, which disallowed this access). 
In ESL 182RW, the most common problems were these:  
  • incomplete sentences / sentence structure
  • basic verb tenses (those included in the 181RW curriculum)  
  • incorrect use of conjunctions, especially subordinating conjunctions
