Experts students and writing: complex relationship

Writing is a basic and key skill in academic context too, as shown numerous studies and operational researches in the European and international research settings. As is obvious, academic writing can be used in different situations: written examination, academic defence, tests; written entrance examinations and so on. These texts have specific features linked to text typology and to students’ degree. So the question is: what expert students think about their writing skills? And, generally, what is the relationship between these students and academic writing?
