Not sure if this has ever been posted about before. Have any first year English majors been struggling with grades on writing? I am a dual major studying English as my primary and history as my secondary. I have purchased many writing guides and applied them to my essays, but I never seem to break past the 95 mark. I do have grammar issues, but most of my points are deducted from cohesiveness and chronology. Does anyone have any tips? I will blow my brains out if anyone says to read or write. I read academic papers DAILY. I write daily as well. Does anyone else have this issue? I am truly trying to open my mind and learn from my mistakes, but I never seem to improve.
