Typical example of college writing I see

6. Exactly what I was thinking. I will say that

I work at a university (IT support) and have a daughter who finished college a few years ago (before COVID hit), and a son graduating in a couple of weeks. They received much more feedback during high school on their writing than they ever did in college, even during the two required writing courses that all university students need to take. Most professors provided no feedback at all, some didn't even return assignments so students could learn what they did right/wrong. They just graded the assignments, sometimes barely getting that done in time to submit end-of-semester grades. Many were difficult to schedule an office appointment with even if the student wanted their assignment reviewed. They gave no guidance into how to improve their writing or, for non-writing courses, how to improve/correct their responses, calculations, etc. IMO, feedback is the most important part of learning at all levels.
