My first history class in College. We were required to write a paper a
week. No tests, no quizzes. At first it was dreadful, but after 5 or so
weeks I got the hang of it. The actual writing was never a big deal, but
at first the preparation (the "outline" - either mentally or on paper, the
organization of ideas) was a real bugger for me. This course made me "think
like a writer." I even took this professor's second semester course just
because I liked the whole methodology that he forced on his students.
