College students lack literacy skills

CNN News reports that "College students lack literacy for complex tasks."

The results cut across three types of literacy: analyzing news stories
and other prose, understanding documents and having math skills needed
for checkbooks or restaurant tips.
Well, we won't work on our math skills, but we will read a lot, analyzing a variety of articles, and we will write a lot, integrating points of the articles into our essays. Definitely, by the end of the semester, we will be able to pass this literacy test.
