How do you get use to the techniques in writing?
jeffrey m asked:
I really hate writing essays and all. When I do I usually write about something else other then the essay topic. I also get errors in getting the correct modals in a sentence. Do you have any suggestions on writing a good essay format and mastering modals in writing?

What kind of a writing sample does a graduate program want to see?
mrsbygtigger asked:
I am applying to graduate school.
I am applying to graduate school.
In addition to the required letter of intent essay they want, where I state my reasons for going into the field, my experience, etc, they also mention the option to submit a writing sample.
What exactly is a writing sample? Should I just submit a well-written essay/research paper I’ve written before?

Are you a creative writing instructor at a university? How do you handle potentially dangerous students?
declaration asked:
I’m curious how creative writing instructors at colleges and universities handle students who write about really disturbing things and who seem potentially dangerous to themselves and others? Are instructors privy to students’ mental health records? Do they let such students get away with violent or disturbing writing in an effort NOT to stir too much trouble? Do you become proactive in trying to help these students? Do you undergo training to deal with problem students? As a creative writing student at a university, I often see disturbing stuff brought into workshops. I’m wondering what the profs think of all this. Thanks to any answers!
