One of the reasons why all new college students in the United States must first take serial writing courses is that they must learn not only the techniques of writing, but also how to think that allow them to study before them. In his essay The Politics of Remediation, Mike Rose primarily suggests three essential academic skills for college students. The importance of these skills can be clearer and deeper by comparison with three other essays; Bell Hooks Critical Thinking, What Happens When Basic Writers Come to College? by Patricia Bizzell and The “banking” concept of education by Paulo Freire. Rose discusses essential academic skills such as academic language acquisition, critical literacy, and problem-solving skills, all of which are required of college students for a variety of reasons, and each of these skills is strongly connected to the points shown in hook, Bizzell and Freire's essays. According to Rose, gaining an academic language skill in order to write and read is essential for new college students, which is also mentioned in Bizzell's essay. In Rose's essay, she illustrates one of her students called Lucia, who was a Catholic from a working-class background and had transferred from a community college. She was sent to a tutoring center because she couldn't understand what was said in the excerpts from her reading assignment. He did not know not only vocabulary, but also “moods, predispositions, and background knowledge” (Rose 144). This is the first difficulty many college students encounter since most academic readings in class are very different from what they are familiar with at home. According to Rose, many of them don't have enough experience... half of the document ......h is the most significant point of the matter. Creativity and application skills are necessary to acquire problem solving skills. All these academic skills are related to each other. It doesn't work properly even if one is missing.
