Knowledge simply is the ability write intelligently on a subject.<br /><br />Knowledge only gets you so far, of course. But we should not call the other things that get us through "knowledge".

Writing skills are today such an inherent part of the average career that the university, in my opinion, should offer courses in proper English academic writing. <br /><br />I think you will enjoy this article in the Danish news paper, Politiken (in Danish only, sorry): http://i.pol.dk/debat/article1201611.ece<br /><br />AndersAnders Jensen-Waudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576364818199658367noreply@blogger.com
