Common errors in your early posts

Hi class.
The most common problems I'm seeing in the blogs of groups 1-3 so far are:
Paragraphs having too few sentences, generally only one! There must be at least 3 sentences in a proper paragraph. That means that you shouldn't hit "return" after typing only one sentence.
Also, there is plenty of sloppy grammar, such as:

• Subject/verb agreement
• Tenses mixed together
• missing articles (OMG!)

PLUS, problems with punctuation and with spelling. Really--for English majors, you have a lot of catching up to do--that means lots of extra reading that you need to take responsibility for. Without enough input, you cannot have good output. So--READ! Especially, please read your own writing before you post it. Many of these errors are, I sincerely hope, careless mistakes that you could really have fixed by yourselves. If not. . . well, let me just say that this is not the level of writing that I should be seeing in pre-professional English users. You have got to improve your ability with DAILY practice. . .and I mean quality practice.

Please don't forget your writing homework, posted at my Yuntech page. Give it to me printed or written on paper at the beginning of class, or you will not be graded. Don't fail through carelessness.
Some people, such as student 001, have written NOTHING yet, as far as I can find. Remember that the assignment is to write at LEAST three times every week. That means EVERY week, folks.
See you all tomorrow. Take care and get a good sleep.
By the way, I finished the full draft of my dissertation on Saturday!
