Write Your Way to a Higher GPA: How to Dramatically Boost Your GPA Simply by Sharpening Your Writing Skills

Something can be done about poor student writing so that you WRITE YOUR WAY TO A HIGHER GPA, by keeping to good note-taking and study habits; choosing a topic that interests you and making every paper a further look at that one interest; going through the stages of researching, mindmapping or outlining, and drafting until you clean your writing of grammatical mistakes and logically order the main idea through supportive findings to a strong conclusion; and handing work in, on time and packaged the way the professor wants. Randall and Katharine Hansen say that their way works, and I believe them: all their suggestions make sense, not just about writing, but also about what else you can do, such as making sure that the professor knows you, that you get to class on time and that you take part in discussions.
