Abstract:
Often, instructors in the College of Agriculture experience difficulties as they attempt to convince students that writing effectively is important. Too frequently students believe that once outside the college classroom, they will not need to write. They therefore take little heed of skills taught in required writing courses, resent writing assignments given in agriculture classes, and fail to enroll in technical writing courses available to them. Sensing students' disregard of writing skills, instructors increase attempts to convince them that the ability to write effectively is essential to success in many agricultural careers. But we lack specific information to support this generalization; and we therefore frequently fail to motivate students to improve writing skills.
