We believe that there is a lot of work behind a good text, and you need to learn different skills to produce it. In WSC, we view academic writing as a means of thinking and learning, as well as a means of communicating and participating in the many communities to which we belong. As such, we view writing as a recursive and ongoing process that allows us to continually shape and reshape our ideas. Each of us can continually improve our writing (as well as other skills). For this to become a reality, it is not enough to talk about writing; we must first and foremost write. However, this means that we have to learn and improve in a range of skills, as the term 'writing' here does not mean just mechanical handwriting or hitting the keyboard.
