The article “Writing with Clarity, Coherence, Concision, Impact, and Style” by Steven Mintz, published on Inside Higher Ed, discusses the importance of effective writing in higher education. It highlights concerns about declining long-form reading habits and the impact of generative AI but argues that an appreciation for language and storytelling remains strong, especially in cultural expressions like hip-hop. Mintz suggests that educators can leverage this enthusiasm by connecting modern linguistic forms to traditional writing skills, fostering creativity, analysis, and critical thinking among students.
