The student writing culture at Kean would have to be described as strained. Most Students who go to this University are also part-time, if not full-time, employees as well. That on top of the fact that most of the students who attend Kean are commuters and have to drive multiple days a week to make their classes makes the typical student's life rather hectic. When a paper is assigned, I believe that many professors do not take these factors into consideration and request a bit too much from their students. There is nothing wrong with expecting quality work, but there should be some understanding that students are constantly juggling their responsibilities and that they would truly appreciate their professors meeting them in the middle. Professors, for example, should focus more on a few assignments and giving students ample time to work on them rather than just give out multiple papers and expect that they are breezed through. There should be an emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Allow students to rethink, reorganize, and revise their papers so that by the end of the semester, they can actually be proud in what they accomplished intend of just be exhausted from turning in last minute assignments ass year.
