First thing that came into my mind after listening to this was" he is absolutely right and I totally agree with what he said." - writing is a methodological process, it will lead us to think precisely.- A simple example, before starting to write a piece of text, not only is content itself to be planed, but also layout: paragraphs, punctuation; purpose ; tone and language register all will be needed to considered.

I totally agreed with the professor,even i could feel his frustration about student's writing ability and critical thinking. Before writing an essay, a person should analyse the purpose of that act and how this can be presentable to audience or reader.
