Definitions of College Readiness
“College readiness can be defined operationally as the level of
preparation a student needs to enroll and succeed – without remediation – in
a credit-bearing general education course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program.”

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the
assignment below.
Some see printed books as dusty remnants from the preelectronic age. They
point out that electronic books, or e-books, cost less to produce than printed
books and that producing them has a much smaller impact on natural
resources such as trees. Yet why should printed books be considered
obsolete or outdated just because there is something cheaper and more
modern? With books, as with many other things, just because a new version
has its merits doesn’t mean that the older version should be eliminated.
Assignment:
Should we hold on to the old when innovations are available, or should we
simply move forward? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your
point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and
examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
